Quebec City Info/History/Facts
The cradle of French civilization in America, Quebec City Canada was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain.

Mural of Quebecers or Quebec mural is a five story three dimensional painting that displays a very successful trompe-l'oeil (to trick the eye) effect.
It depicts several notable people in Quebec history such as:
François de Montmorency-Laval, Louis-Joseph Papineau, François-Xavier Garneau, Jacques Cartier, Jean Talon, Comte de Frontenac, Louis Jolliet, Samuel de Champlain,
Lord Dufferin, Felix Leclerc ..

Quebec is a native word (Algonquin) meaning where the river narrows; Quebec City is strategically situated on the narrowest part of the 1600 kilometer long St. Lawrence river.

St Lawrence River - Fleuve St. Laurent is 1600KM long from Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean and at places is 530 meters deep.  350 rivers empty into it.  The St Lawrence river is sailed by 10,000 commercial ships 12 months a year.

It was a site coveted for its ability to control maritime traffic.
No ship could sail towards the great lakes or to the Atlantic ocean without permission from whomever occupied Quebec city and placed a few cannons on both shores of the St. Lawrence river.  If you controlled Quebec City, you "owned" the Great Lakes.
