Vieux-Québec–Cap-Blanc–Colline-Parlementaire is one of the 35 districts of the City of Quebec, and one of six that are located in the borough of La Cité-Limoilou. This area is certainly the most visited and most toured in the city. It is in this partly fortified area where a building that symbolizes Canada to the world, the Château Frontenac, is found, with its large terrace overlooking the city of Lévis just across the Saint Lawrence River. Dozens of cafes, tourist shops, restaurants, hotels and inns are found here. Some say this is the most European neighbourhood in North America.

Portrait of the neighbourhood

The district comprises four distinct areas within the centre of Quebec City:

History

Main arteries

Parks, green spaces and recreational areas

Rue du Petit-Champlain near Place Royale.

Notable buildings

Places of worship

Museums, theatres and exhibition spaces

Public administration

Places of learning

There are no longer any public schools in the district, due to the small number of families with children living there. The few private schools that are there serve clients who live almost exclusively outside the city center.
