The Qubec Bridge

and the Pierre-Laporte Bridge
Designated as a national historic site by the minister
of Canadian Heritage and an international historic
monument of civil engineering by the Canadian
Society for Civil Engineering and the American Society
of Civil Engineers. The Qubec Bridge has a suspended
span 549 metres in length between the two main
pillars. It is considered the longest cantilever bridge Promenade Samuel-De Champlain
in the world. During construction, its central span
collapsed twice (1907 and 1916). After years of
construction, the bridge was finally opened to railway
traffic in 1917. It was not until 1929 that motorists
began to use it. The bridge is now illuminated at night.

Right beside it stands the Pierre-Laporte Bridge, the

longest suspension bridge in Canada, which took
four years to build and opened in 1970. Its flooring
is attached to two cables measuring 60 cm (23.6 in)
in diameter. They are made up of more than 12,500
steel wires which, placed end to end, would circle
three-quarters of the globe. Aquarium du Qubec

Cartier-Roberval Archaeological Site $

This site reflects the first French settlement in America.
In 2005, an extensive program of archaeological
excavations was launched to protect this unique
historic site. More than 6,000 artifacts from the
16th century and the remains of at least five
construction areas were found. Guided tours

Taxes
Qubec has two taxes: the 5% federal goods
and services tax (GST), and the 9.975% Qubec
sales tax (QST). An accommodation tax of 3.5%
of the room price per night also applies
in our region.

Tipping
Tipping is customary in restaurants, bars and
taxis. The amount, which is not included in
the bill, is generally equivalent to 15% of the
total bill before taxes. For quick tip calculations,
Qubecers normally add up both taxes.
Tipping bellhops or porters is at your
discretion (generally, $1 per bag).

Let us surprise you

A tribute to our
ancestors. A return
to our roots. A reection
on our culinary history
from First Nations
to today.

A place to meet and

share around a table,
to discover or rediscover
our land,
our forest,
our mighty river.
