Bienvenue sur les plaines d'Abraham

Associated programming

Historical context

The confrontation on the Plains of Abraham lasted only a few minutes, but Quebec and the surrounding areas were subjected to the throes of the British siege for nearly three month. Raids, bombardments, destruction, acts of violence, famine, fighting, heroic gesture, etc. deeply affected the life of the population.

Description

Several organizations grouping together municipalities, historical societies, museums and historic sites of Québec City and its surroundings, will participate in the commemorations by holding activities on their respective sites, directly where the 1759-1760 events took place or on the park, at their convenience.
