Cartier-Brébeuf National Historic Site of Canada is
a 6.8-hectare park located on the north bank of the Saint Charles River
in the Limoilou district of Québec City. Originally located near the
Iroquoian village of Stadacona, the site commemorates the winter
quarters of Jacques Cartier and his companions in 1535-1536, and the
first Jesuit missionary residence in Quebec constructed during the
period 1625-1626. Today, grass, selective planting, mature trees, and
walking and cycling paths characterize the landscaped site. Other
features include an exhibit on the three voyages of the explorer Jacques
Cartier, an interpretation kiosk on the Jesuits, a longhouse surrounded
by a stake palisade, and a number of commemorative monuments, one of
which represents the figures of Jacques Cartier and the great chief
Donnacona of Stadacona.
Le lieu historique national du Canada Cartier-Brébeuf est un parc de 6,8
hectares situé sur la rive nord de la rivière Saint-Charles dans le
quartier Limoilou dans la Ville de Québec. Situé à l’origine près du
village iroquoien de Stadaconé, le lieu commémore le camp d’hiver de
Jacques Cartier et de ses compagnons en 1535-1536 ainsi que la première
résidence des missionnaires jésuites à Québec, construite en 1625-1626.
De nos jours, l’endroit est caractérisé par ses étendues d’herbe, ses
plantes choisies, ses arbres matures ainsi que ses sentiers pour piétons
et cyclistes. On y trouve également une exposition sur les trois voyages
de l’explorateur Jacques Cartier, un kiosque d’interprétation sur les
jésuites, une longue maison entourée d’une palissade de pieux et
plusieurs monuments commémoratifs, dont un qui représente Jacques
Cartier et le grand chef Donnacona de Stadaconé.
