Beautiful place

Yves Lavoie (lavoie360.com)

(Translated) Place Royale in Old Quebec with Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church is a very beautiful place to visit day and night. A scene from the film “Stop me if you can” (Catch me if you can) with Leonardo Dicaprio and Tom Hanks was filmed there. In the film, it was the small village of Montrichard that we see towards the end of the film. The time of the arrest of Frank W. Abagnale Junior. (Original) La Place Royale dans le Vieux Québec avec l'Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires est un très bel endroit à visiter de jour comme de nuit. Une scène du film «Arrête-moi si tu peux» (Catch me if you can) avec Leonardo Dicaprio et Tom Hanks y a été tournée. Dans le film, c'était le petit village de Montrichard qu'on voit vers la fin du film. Le moment de l'arrestation de Frank W. Abagnale Junior.

The roads/sidewalks are unbalanced

Beautiful place. The church in the center stands as a reminder of the times gone by. The shops around it sell all sorts of stuff, from pricey paintings to trinkets to good food. Enjoyed being there.

Franky Castillo

Beautiful historical place

Jackie Hamilton-Smith

Literally the most stunning part of Québec City. It is such a beautiful place that has so much character, and what's even better is that it has remained the same over the years. Cannot wait to return as it's got lots of cute cafés, shops and cobblestone streets.

Pranav Chaudhary

Beautiful streets....should come morning and then at night to see the lights.... only thing is quebec city is a bit dead early at night... I wish restaurants served food after 9.....

So beautiful

khaled kachkorian

Stuff is nice. Location is excellent. There is too much noise at night in a way that I woke up many times and could not sleep. It is not clean enough. There are stains on the sheets, the floor is definitely dirty. If i have the choice i prefer to not come back. If there is no other choice spending the night will not kill you.

Antonio Pistore

(Translated) Very characteristic square, enclosed by suggestive ancient buildings, all beautifully restored and decorated with flowers. Truly a beautiful place. Here it seems to be really in France. I am reminded of the village of Salers in Auvergne. I really enjoyed walking around the historic center of this city and this square in particular is a small bijou !! (Original) Piazza molto caratteristica, racchiusa da suggestivi edifici antichi tutti restaurati magnificamente e ornati di fiori. Veramente un bel posto. Qui sembra di essere davvero in Francia.

HHBenfica

(Translated) The Place Royale is a kind of marketplace in the middle of Old Quebec. All around are a lot of cafes and small shops. This also includes a small church that is the focal point. The place is very clean, the houses have been beautifully restored and some are decorated with plants. We liked it here. (Original) Der Place Royale ist so eine Art Marktplatz mitten in der Altstadt von Quebec. Rundherum sind eine Menge Cafes und kleine Geschäfte. Dazu gehört auch eine kleine Kirche, die den Mittelpunkt darstellt. Der Platz ist sehr sauber, die Häuser schön restauriert und zum Teil mit Pflanzen geschmückt.Uns hat es hier gefallen.

It's a pity that there are no shops open when I go there, it's not very lively, but the landmark buildings are still worth visiting.

Beautiful street ! Loved the vibe

malkit singh tak

Beautiful view and staff was awesome

Philippe Clévy

(Translated) Absolutely unmissable !!! The site of Samuel Champlain's first installation in 1608. The oldest permanent French settlement in America. Also worth seeing is the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires church, the oldest existing stone church in North America. The bust of the Sun King Louis XIV erected in 1686 gives the Lebon place of Place Royale. (Original) Absolument incontournable!!! Le site de la première installation de Samuel Champlain en 1608. Le plus ancien établissement permanent français en Amérique. A voir également, l'église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, la plus vieille église en pierre existante en Amérique du Nord. Le buste du Roi-Soleil Louis XIV érigé en 1686 donne au lieu Lebon de Place Royale.

Nice place

Not much to see but it’s good to learn about the history, thought it’d be spectacular at night during winter season but they didn’t have much Christmas light on, was a bit disappointing.

(Translated) It's located outside Quebec City, but it's in a good location right into the castle. Clean, antique feelings make Quebec a great place. The central pool and hot tub give the room a revitalization. (Original) 퀘백성곽밖에 위치하지만 위치가 좋아 바로 성곽안으로 들어갈수있어요 시설이 깔끔하고 앤틱한 느낌이 퀘백에 온 기분을 돋웁니다 중앙에 위치한 수영장과 핫터브는 실내에 활력을 주네요

This place is magnificent during the winter season. We have been coming here for two winters back to back just to spent the new years Eve. The disco party was pretty awesome. Definitely take a ferry ride which is really close to the center. Also, if you really wanna witness a true winter, go to Saguneay.

A huge deck patio off one of the restaurants covers almost half of place royale and has completely ruined what was previously the not so hidden gem of Old Quebec. Unbelievable.

big hill, old buildings, cool river, high walls -- what more do you need?! muggins kept trying to trick me saying we were in canada; i went along with it, but i knew we were really in france.

Lu Simon

(Translated) It is in the heart of Vieux Québec, a picturesque place with the oldest church in North America (The Notre-Dame-des-Victoires), surrounded by shops, restaurants and Quebec's frescoes. For those who like movies, it was the final scene of Catch me if you can! (Original) Fica no coração de Vieux Québec, lugar pitoresco, com a mais antiga igreja da América do Norte (The Notre-Dame-des-Victoires), rodeada por lojas, restaurantes, os afrescos de Québec. Para quem gosta de cinema, foi o cenário final do filme Prenda-me se for capaz (Catch me if you can)!

Luke Matarazzo

This is not a bad little square, especially when the Christmas tree is up. But it's not too special so I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Reha Topuz

Great European look streets and river view .

Cris Flessak - Vivajando

(Translated) Place Royale deserves a special mention! It's a super nice little square - even cinematic! - and the birthplace of French colonization. It is ground zero: it was exactly here that the city of Québec was founded in 1608. There you can also see and enter the beautiful Notre-Dame-des-Victoires church from 1687. It is also worth mentioning that just a few steps away (Rue Notre-Dame) you will also be able to see a huge wall panel called La Fresque des Québécois which depicts characters and historical events in everyday scenes that contributed to the development of the city. You can spend a lot of time watching every detail and you will always see something different! A work of art for everyone to enjoy! -> Hey! Go to my Vivajando blog where I share several options of free tours around the charming city of Québec. I'm sure you will enjoy it! (Original) A Place Royale merece uma menção à parte! É uma pracinha super agradável – cinematográfica até! – e o berço da colonização francesa. É o marco zero: foi exatamente neste local que a cidade de Québec foi fundada em 1608. Ali você também pode ver e entrar na bela igreja Notre-Dame-des-Victoires de 1687. E vale mencionar também que a poucos passos de distância dali (Rua Notre-Dame) você também poderá observar um painel de parede enorme chamado La Fresque des Québécois o qual retrata personagens e eventos históricos em cenas do cotidiano que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da cidade. Você pode ficar um tempão observando cada detalhe e sempre verá algo diferente! Uma obra de arte para todos desfrutarem! --> Ei! Passa lá no meu blog Vivajando onde eu compartilho várias opções de passeios gratuitos pela encantadora cidade de Québec. Tenho certeza que você vai curtir!

(Translated) A very stylish place, full of flowers and a very nice church, very bohemian atmosphere. (Original) Un lugar con mucho estilo, lleno de flores y una iglesia muy linda, muy bohemio el ambiente.

B쪙

(Translated) It was worth visiting the murals and Notre Dame nearby, but it was a pretty street at night with large Christmas decorations. Maple ice frozen with snow in front of this square is also unique and worthwhile. (Original) 근처 벽화와 노트르담도 방문 해 볼만 했지만 대형크리스마스 장식으로 밤에 너무 이쁜 거리. 이 광장앞에 눈으로 얼린 메이플아이시도 특이함으로 맛볼만하다.

HYPH4ZE

(Translated) This public square is one of my favorite places in the old town. There are a multitude of small, refined local craft shops. Sometimes there are marriages of celebrations in the local church. …

One of the most picturesque squares in Quebec. Grab a coffee and sit on the patio observing the historical architecture and all the groups coming through to explore.

Simarpal singh Sandhu

It was beautiful ????????????????

Rude Boy

beautiful small square

Felicia Smith

Highly recommend going in the evening. This particular area is very well decorated and adorned for the holidays, and as other reviewers have stated, it does have that medieval appeal and feel. You can feel the energy of the history and just have an appreciation for that history.

Deborah Shepherd

This shopping, historic, and restaurant area is a must go to when you go to Quebec City. Please don't confuse it with the Hotel Place Royal. Place Royal is in lower part of the city. There is just so much to see in this area. Don't forget to go into the side streets and weave around to make sure you see as possible. You may choose to take the cart ride up / down from the upper city. We paid for the hop on / off pass. But we ended up doing a lot walking between some of the places.

Andrew Dennison

Love it here. The old cobble stone roads and old time atmosphere. Reminds me of Europe and Nassau (just without the humity/tropical climate).

Adrian M

This square is in the middle of a busy tourist shopping, restaurant, cafe and bar area. It's quite a charming and alive touristy area with historical European style buildings lined with flowers, and tour groups are always passing through throughout the day (especially when there's a cruise ship in town). There's also a church and a large snow globe here. As it leads on to many alleyways with plenty of small shops, and places to eat and drink, it's a good place to visit as part of your sightseeing.

Malcome Larcens

A plaza on the lower part of Old Quebec by the St-Laurence River. It's a very popular tourist area with lots of quaint little restaurants and souvenir shop's. A lot of the buildings have frescas painted on the walls. I had the best ever maple ice cream with a small piece of maple sugar on top. This year the area is covered in colourful umbrellas. Well worth a visit

Michael Lalande

Beautiful square. Get a coffee and sit down to let it all soak in. There are several performers that will present at random intervals. They are very unsuspecting and great.

(Translated) It is an emblematic spot in Old Quebec, winter and summer!

Woooooow! (Original) C'est un spot emblématique du Vieux Québec, hiver comme été!

Woooooow!

What's more to say about this spot. One of the most historic places in Canada , absolutely beautiful spot and where I got married. Go in early spring , late fall or on the coldest days to avoid the crowds.

Patrick Au-Yeung

Lovely square in the heart of the old city. Very photogenic.

Jehezkiel Eugene

Place Royale offers a tremendously beautiful, historical atmosphere of the 1900's with numerous stores surrounding the area. You'll definitely need at least 2 days to explore the true ancient beauty of the whole district! Also: you won't be counted to have visited Québec City if you haven't gone to Place Royale!

Krystyne McComb

Gorgeous

Soranation

Really cool place to chill. Grab a coffee from smith's and enjoy the beauty and the ambience of this amazing place. Very picturesque.

Good photo spot, but much more interesting if you look up the history. Nice open area for a meeting place in Lower Town of Old Quebec City. there are several shops, cafes, and restaurants around here.

Atharva Ayurveda

Simply beautiful...

Jorie Moore

We went when it was sleeting and tried to make the best of it. The area is quaint and there were people dressed as elves caroling and chatting to being cheer. We stopped at Cafe de Maison Smith to warm up.

Elizabeth Samei Rad

Hands down my favorite place in Quebec city. It has a vibe that is unexplainable. It makes me feel nostalgic, explorative, excited... It's like something out of a movie! Yet it is connected to history and roots that are very real. It's truly magical!

Alain G

(Translated) Superb place visited. (Original) Superbe endroit a visité.

Jay Mehta

Amazing square just a couple of steps from the Umbrella Alley. While there is a beautiful church there, there are also a few shops and some restaurants. If the day is better there are also musicians playing some instruments. We went during late summer and they had a dome at one end of the square which had an artificial snowstorm created to give a wintery feel. There was also a senior (in his late 70s or early 80s I believe) playing a keyboard. Amazing place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Konstantinos Papadakis

No one cleaned the snow from the front of their store and in general everyone seems unwelcoming. We saved money like this but the rest of Canada is not like this.

Chaitravi K

Very pretty . Kept very clean and nice staff

Ambar Colon

Love it!

Akram Kiassi

Mostly, it's a historical place. You should come here with panflets and info about the history of this place. Besides that, there's nothing much to do. You can visit the church and learn about it's history too.

(Translated) I love walking in the pedestrian streets and seeing the old houses well maintained and well decorated. I live in Quebec City, but I feel like I'm elsewhere in Place-Royale, which is full of visitors all year long. You find about 25 merchants working hard to welcome us. There are even residents in this beautiful area. Do not miss it if you come to Quebec City. (Original) J’adore me promener dans ses rues piétonnières et voir les maisons anciennes bien entretenues et bien décorées. Je demeure à Québec, mais j’ai l’impression d’être ailleurs dans la Place-Royale qui abonde de visiteurs toute l’année. Vous y trouvez environ 25 commerçants qui travaillent fort pour bien nous accueillir. Il y a même des résidents dans ce très beau secteur. À ne pas manquer si vous venez à Québec.

Nice place to visit with some really great murals. There's construction going on right now so that lowered the experience but it was still a nice place to walk around alone, with a date or with family.

Nicht im Dienst

(Translated) In the tent on the roof of the restaurant. Extra access via side staircase. Good menu with small dishes. Home-brewed beer. Unfortunately, the black chairs are really dirty, you realize that only when you look at it with bright damp clothing draufsetzt. The dirt does not go off without washing. (Original) Im Zelt auf dem Dach des Restaurants. Extra Zugang über Seitentreppe. Gute Karte mit kleinen Gerichten. Selbst gebrautes Bier. Leider sind die schwarzen Stühle echt dreckig, das merkt man erst wenn man Sicht mit heller feuchter Kleidung draufsetzt. Der Schmutz geht ohne Wäsche nicht mehr ab.

(Translated) Quebec City has kept only the best of its 400 years and more existence. The Pace Royale sets the tone for the city by making you see the remains of colonization still dazzling with beauty. The place is always crowded …

Perfect place for coffee, loved to admire the architecture of this historic site, it's so beautiful specially at night.

Andrew Leong

Great little public square that has a fun, historical vibe.

Steven West

Great food

Mark Dickinson

The restaurant is very old and has tons of charm. The food wasn't amazing although it was reasonable and felt we got what we paid for. The restaurant is in Old Quebec where many places there tend to be expensive, this isn't one of them.

Amazing

One of the most beautiful place in the world

Nigel Peters

We started dreaming about this place soon after we booked our hotel in Quebec city. Heard a lot about the cobblestone roads and those colorful patios serving up exotic French dishes. Our drive took us via the river for a considerable period of time and we were mesmerized by the beauty. This is old Quebec city and has all the beautiful sights to see. You need to see things personally to understand and experience the beauty. I'm out of words to describe the feeling we had when we got there - all of us were going crazy taking in the sights. Plenty of paid parking around and that won't be an issue. It was so colorful and tastefully decorated and immaculately maintained. When the nights come on at night it's another sight to behold. There is no mistaking the French contributions They have boat rides too at certain times and you can take in the spectacular view from the water. I have not seen anything more beautiful than this place and you can spend a whole day or 2 roaming around and having fun. Go through my pictures and you will believe everything I mentioned. DONT FORGET TO VISIT THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE IN QUEBEC CITY. PERIOD!!!

(Translated) Old Quebec in all its splendor Must go in winter to avoid the horde of tourists who gather on the promenade in front of the Château Frontenac Take the funicular and take a walk in the smallest street in Quebec Then the place Royale !!!

There are different types of establishments where you can buy souvenirs and also places to stop along the way and have a drink. It is worth going there and enjoying.

Absolutely beautiful area! Must visit ????

nothing special

G Aquino

Small, picturesque square that gets a little too crowded with tourists during the day. This is one of those places that make you feel you're in an old town in Europe, especially with the architecture of the surrounding buildings, the cobblestone pavement, and yes, the sheer size of the crowds.

(Translated) The monument to LOUIS XIV amazes all French tourists who have never seen a bust of the king in France. The 2 benches around are appreciated by walkers but they take away the importance and dignity of the monument. LOUIS XIV is the king who, at the suggestion of Mgr de Laval, in 1664 regrouped the private colonies of Quebec, Trois-Rivieres and Montreal in a province called NOUVELLE-FRANCE under the authority and the Treasury of the French crown, with governor general and steward. The Place Royale is the birthplace of New France. Notre-Dame des Victoires stands on the foundations of L'HABITATION, the first residence and store built by Champlain when he founded Quebec in 1608. (Original) Le monument à LOUIS XIV étonne tous les touristes français qui n'ont jamais vu de buste du roi en France. Les 2 bancs autour sont appréciés par les marcheurs mais ils enlèvent importance et dignité au monument. LOUIS XIV est le roi qui, sur suggestion de Mgr de Laval, a regroupé en1664 les colonies privées de Québec, Trois-Rivieres et Montréal en une province appelée NOUVELLE-FRANCE sous l'autorité et le Trésor de la couronne française, avec gouverneur général et intendant. La Place royale est le lieu de naissance de la Nouvelle-France. Notre-Dame des Victoires se dresse sur les fondations de L'HABITATION, première résidence et magasin construite par Champlain en fondant Québec en 1608.

Very beautiful !!

There was almost no crowd when I went so I was able to sit down and rest a while in peace. Loved the architecture and the cobblestone streets. Also the harp musician is awesome, he is so talented. There was another musician (guitar) on the opposite side of the square. There is a free public bathroom by where the harp guy is. I wish I could go inside the church and see the interiors but it looked like it was closed. 도깨비 출연하신 하프아저씨 아직도 계시네요 ㅎㅎ 무료 공용화장실 있어요! Date of visit oct 14, 2021
