Always have to stop here, the fella playing his guitar was wonderful. So much rich history here, I love it.

Samuel de Champlain, 13 August 1567 was a French explorer, navigator, cartographer, draftsman, soldier, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat, and chronicler. He made between 21 and 29 trips across the Atlantic Ocean, and founded Quebec, and New France, on 3 July 1608.

Nice statue but our guide told us that the face is of another man and not Champlain LOL.

As we walked around Le Chateau Frontenac, we came across this amazing sculpture of the founder of Quebec - Samuel de Champlain. Behind the sculpture, one can get an amazing view of the Vieux-Quebec. If you are coming here in the evening hours, there may also be some amazing street performance right at the foot of the statue. We caught a glimpse of Monsieur Rene, great entertainer, while we were there. There is also a schedule mentioned nearby of the artists who are going to perform and their timings. Great place to take beautiful pictures of the hotel, statue and the old city.

Interesting landmark where street performers usually perform which are fun to watch

A statue of Samuel-De Champlain, a French explorer who is closely linked to the building of the city of Quebec City and thus one of the famous personalities in the history of Quebec. The monument is located high up and offers a fantastic view of the city. A well-visited place where various artists from near and far usually perform and show their skill and art to the visitors.

Fun fact - its not Samuel's face on the statue. The story is interesting.

Very interesting and historical a must see while in the area

Beautiful viewing point of the frontenac and the statue.

Don’t miss this beautiful piece of history in Quebec.

Beautiful place with a great view of the Quebec’s harbor and chateau de Frontenac ! The place for selfies !!

Beautiful but very disappointing because no dogs are allowed to this area

When you go to the Quebec city, don’t miss out this place as the view is wonderful. You could take photos with the statue and the castle. Moreover, the view of the port is wonderful. The minus point is that the wind is so strong that it can make you difficult to pose. Since the Covid-19, the number of visitors is not high so you feel free to walk around and enjoy the fresh atmosphere.

Popular area for professional street performers during the summer. Lots of very cool shows that are great for all ages!

Busy but beautiful area, must see if you’re in the area.

Cool place to rest and take in some views.

Busy meeting place for tourists. Nonetheless it is a perfect place to begin a walking tour of the Old Quebec city or to water boardwalk. Beautiful hotels, trees and historic statues. Had a wonderful time and would love to go back soon.

Such a stoic statue! It's wonderful to see it at different times of the day.

Around there is a lot of entertainment a good walk. Is a Starbucks cafe, is a good view of the old port
