What to Expect
Pass by: Fontaine de Tourny
Although only recently installed in Québec City, the Tourny Fountain has a fascinating history. Six copies of this work, designed by French sculptor Mathurin Moreau in 1853, were made, and it was exhibited at the 1855 World's Fair in Paris. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Pass by: St. Louis Gate
The first Saint-Louis Gate was in the late 17th century under the French Regime at its present location. During the British Regime, the army closed the gate doors at night to restrict travel between the city and outlying areas, which disrupted trade and hampered the city's development. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Pass by: Cannonball Tree
Everyone familiar with Old Quebec is familiar with the tall old elm tree on Rue Saint-Louis at the corner of Rue du Corps-de-Garde, and what appears to be a large cannonball trapped in its gnarly roots. Calèche drivers slow their horse's gait to point it out to their passengers. Curious passers-by invariably stop and try to figure out how the cannonball could have gotten there, and when. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Pass by: Chapelle des Ursulines
Founded in 1639, the Couvent des Ursulines is the oldest institution of learning for women in North America.

Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Pass by: Cathedral of the Holy Trinity

Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Pass by: Hotel De Ville De Quebec
The public square was then known as Grande Place, Grande Place de la Haute Ville, and Place du Marché.

It was inaugurated on September 15, 1896, in the Old Quebec neighborhood. The building slopes downward as it was built on a hill and was once home to the Jesuit College (Jesuit Barracks) from the 1730s to 1878. The city hall was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1984.
Pass by: Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral
Notre-Dame-de-Québec has served the first Catholic parish in North America ever since 1664.
