Old Quebec City Attractions

Artillilery Park

Inside the Dauphine Redoubt, visitors will find barracks and the officer quarters that are decorated as they would have been in the 1830s when officers lived in these rooms. It is also possible to see a scale model of Quebec City that was built between 1806 and 1808.
