2. Centre d'interprétation de Place-Royale (Place Royale Interpretation Centre)

VIEUX QUEBEC.   Part of the sprawling complex that also includes the Musée de la civilisation, Musée de l'Amérique française and several historic homes, the Centre d'interprétation de Place-Royale features a number of interesting exhibits designed to give visitors an in-depth understanding of the importance of the Place-Royale area in Québec's sometimes stormy history. Known as the birthplace of French America, this is the site where Samuel de Champlain built the first fur trading post in 1608. Despite a few setbacks, the post grew quickly into a busy center of commerce, and by 1759 was the main port for all European imports and exports.   (© 10Best)
