Côte de la Montagne

Quebec, CANADÀ 2024.

 

The Côte de la Montagne is a historic and picturesque street in Quebec City that plays a fundamental role in the city's geography. It acts as the main link between the Lower Town (Basse-Ville) and the Upper Town (Haute-Ville), winding its way up the slope of Cap Diamant. With its name meaning "mountain slope," the street is known for its steep incline. It was one of the first roads in the city, laid out by Samuel de Champlain in the 17th century. Today, its route remains the same as it was originally. It connects points of interest such as Rue Dalhousie with Rue du Fort and Rue Port Dauphine, serving as an important path for residents and tourists visiting emblematic sites like the Château Frontenac and Place Royale.
