Attractions and activities

In the heart of Place-Royale, where Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City in 1608, this museum will make you go through the 400 years of history of Quebec City as if you had been there all along. A film about Samuel de Champlain and three floors of fascinating objects will provide you with an idea of what life in Quebec City was in the past and is nowadays. Moreover, different workshops will make your children as happy as they can be!
