Once the site of a famous battle, the Plains of Abraham have evolved into a nice urban park 250 years later. Perched up a cliff overlooking the St Lawrence River, it's a great place for a walk, a run, a picnic, a pickup game of soccer, or a quiet read. And, of course, the views. Those looking for history in... More

Gorgeous park with huge historical significance. Amazing cross country trails. I wish I had more time to explore - I'm sure there is somewhere to rent skis from. Even in the cold we went for a lovely walk to see the river. Lots of street parking but make sure you feed the meter. More

Me and the girlfriend walked to the park and there was a brisk wind coming off the water. It was worth bearing the cool weather for though. The park was very clean and had a very nice walking path. I can only imagine what it looks like in the summer with the gardens in bloom. The park had lots of... More

This park, that would be something like the quebecer version of the Central Park of NYC, is probably my favorite place in town. I like going to the Battlefields, or should I say les Champs-de-Bataille, to have lunch or picnic with my girlfriend and spend hours there doing nothing but having a nice nap on the fresh grass. There a... More
