(Translated) Beautiful painting, mural on the side of a house in a magical part of Quebec. If you like art it is a very beautiful painting. At night it has lighting so you can go at any time of the day. (Original) Hermosa pintura, mural en un costado de una casa en una zona mágica de Quebec. Si te gusta el arte es una pintura muy bonita. Por las noches tiene iluminación por lo que lo puedes ir a cualquier hora del día.

(Translated) Interesting fresco but the nuns from the bookstore closed their access and can only be partially seen from the side. It is at the end of the main street. (Original) Interesante fresco pero las monjitas de la librería cerraron su acceso y apenas puede verse parcialmente de medio lado. Está al final de la calle principal.

(Translated) Produced in 2001 by Société MuraleCréation, the Fresco de Petit-Champlain is located at rue du Petit-Champlain, 102, illustrating the major stages of life in Cape Blanc, a port district located on the narrow strip of land between Cape Diamond and St. Lawrence . The fresco evokes the fishing and maritime trade activities that once animated this area of the city, as well as local residents, distinguished visitors and fictional characters. Among the historical figures, Captain Bernier is present, a great Quebec navigator, explorer of the North Pole. Lord Nelson, a British officer who fell in love with a Quebecker and was forcibly taken back to his boat by his crew members, appears there, or sail repairman Gustave Guay. The concerned wife of a sailor awaiting the return of her husband is represented. Major events in the history of the region are also discussed, such as the fire of 1682, the bombings of 1759 and 1889, landslides and other disasters that marked the Cap Blanc and Petit-Champlain area.

This place is magical

M Robson

Very cool photo op at the end of Rue de Petit Champlain. Be sure to stop in the small religious store right before you get to the mural. It's called Librairie Pere Frédéric. Very nice hand made figurines, etc made by the Catholic sisters at reasonable prices.

Marc Caron

(Translated) Magnificent... (Original) Magnifique...

Pretty!

Nasa Rouf

Interesting artwork. Most people just took a photo and walk away but take a moment to appreciate the details in the art. Ask yourself which ones are real bricks and which ones have been painted... Can you spot the difference?

Lalo Padilla

(Translated) Another interesting mural that you have to see if you are visiting Quebec, the bad thing is that there is a fence and it makes it difficult to see the entire mural. It is located almost at the end of rue du Petit-Champlain. This mural reflects what life in Quebec was like in its beginnings, like other murals, it is worth seeing every detail and contemplating it for several minutes. (Original) Otro interesante mural que hay que ver si estas visitando Quebec, la malo es que hay una valla y dificulta ver toda el mural. Se encuantra casi al final de rue du Petit-Champlain. Este mural refleja como era la vida de Quebec en sus inicios, al igual que otros murales, vale la pena ver cada detalle y contemplarlo varios minutos.

Detlef Rettig

(Translated) Rue du Petit-Champlain is the most beautiful street in Lower Town. There are many small shops and bars here. I also saw the cycling jersey there, but it was too expensive for me. I also found another great mural here, Fresque du Petit-Champplain. It shows the working-class district from the beginning to the modern era. (Original) Die Rue du Petit-Champlain ist die schönste Gasse von Lower Town. Hier gibt es viele kleine Läden und Lokale. Dort sah ich auch das Fahrradtrikot, aber es war mir zu teuer. Hier fand ich auch ein weiteres tolles Wandgemälde, Fresque du Petit-Champplain. Es zeigt das Arbeiterviertel vom Beginn bis zur Neuzeit.

Colin Dalrymple

This was really cool. Old Quebec City is a must see

Marie Duval

(Translated) Who can tell me where I can find where I can find the fresco of the little champlain, the one published by politick. Thank you (Original) Qui peut me dire où je peux trouver où Je peux trouver la fresque du petit champlain, celle publié par politick. Merci

(Translated) The walls of the last shop and the beginning of the charming pretty shops and restaurants are nice. (Original) 아기자기한 예쁜 상점과 식당 거리의 시작이자 마지막 가게의 벽이 멋지다

Marcel Larouche

A tourist attraction with real historical value.

Francisco Javier Torrejón

(Translated) I liked it a lot. The pity is that you cannot have a good perspective of the entire work because of the fence that prevents your complete vision. It would be interesting if they agreed to remove it, which would facilitate obtaining better photographs. (Original) Me ha gustado mucho. La lástima es que no se pueda tener una buena perspectiva de toda la obra al tener la valla que impide su completa visión. Sería interesante que accedieran a quitarla, lo que facilitaría la obtención de mejores fotografías.
