Fontaine de la Place d'Armes is a large monument that dominates the square around it. It is a gothic-style monument to Faith. Quite majestic and beautiful.

The fountain itself is ornate. There are a lot of them around in Quebec, so you get a bit spoiled like that. This review is more of the surrounding area. It's quite lively in the evenings. They're always seem to be people playing music or providing some sort of free entertainment. There are plenty of benches to sit on or you have the boardwalk to go for a pleasant walk along the waterfront (well, up high at least). It makes you want to stay in the neighboring hotel.

Area is across from the Chateau Frontenac and close to where you can begin your journey on the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus, the visitors center is also close by and you can arrange for a horse drawn carriage ride in this area. It is somewhat of a busy area with lots of foot traffic. Not really even a place for a pic nic, just a nice area in the center of things.

The fountain is in the Place d'Armes, in front of the Chateau Frontenac, Upper Town. Nice square to relax after walking around the city.

Fountain is nothing special as far as fountains go. But it is a huge church like structure in honor of the missionaries. Directly opposite the Chateau Frontenac it is a great place to take a break in the shade of massive trees, watch the horse driven caleche's drive past and people watch the tourists.

It is located in an area with lots of restaurants, bistros, and cafes. Also, shops, artists, street performers, and book sellers. All this gives the area has a very Montmartre feel. Especially on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Sat and watched the people, street performers, and the buildings that surround the area. In the summer, there is great shade for parts of it.

The fountain is very easily overlooked not because it isn't beautiful (it is!) but because it is surrounded by so many things to see it gets a little bit lost... So when you are done admiring the Chateau Frontenac, the Terrasse Dufferin, the view of Quebec and the river, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the beautiful historic buildings and have gone into the Tourist Information Center, sit down, breath, and take a look at the fountain, you won't regret it!
