Surrounding the base of Cap-Diamont, by the St. Lawrence and St. Charles Rivers. This beautiful historic district features cobblestone streets and a range of historic buildings and structures. Site of Champlain's Fort St. Louis and the birthplace of "New France." The St. Lawrence has always been a major transportation route for the region and was a significant influence on the people and culture of Old Québec. The Old Port is an 80-plus-acre phalanx of warehouses and shipyards and, like New York's Ellis Island, was historically a reception point for immigrants. Present-day travelers may expect a delightful mélange of craft and souvenir stops, fashion boutiques, charming hotels and some of the most popular restaurants in the city. The area also offers street music and arts.
