The Plains of Abraham: a site unique in North America, Canada’s birthplace, a park at the centre of the citizens’ life. Set course for the Odyssey and relive the rich, colourful past of this historic city park. A captivating virtual journey covering 400 years.

Embark on the journey with, at your side, the great characters that helped shape our history. Witness the birth of New France (when the French dream was alive with the city’s founder, Samuel de Champlain). Immerse yourself in the turmoil of the great battles of Québec with the Marquis de Montcalm and James Wolfe: a memorable foray into the battle of the Plains of Abraham, a determining episode in the conflict that pitted England and France against each other in the midst of a world wide conflict.

Admire the uniforms and discover military life as it was in 1759-1760: over 20 flamboyant regimental uniforms, accurate representations of the soldiers’ garb during that period.

Lift the veil on the events, activities, and use of the site for over one hundred years and consider the significance of the creation of the park, which ranks among the most prestigious in the world.

Hear the history of the Plains of Abraham as told like never heard before. A matchless experience available through the magic of multimedia.

In English. French, Spanish and Japanese.
