Parc des Braves
Located in the Montcalm district of Quebec City, this park is part of the Battlefields Park system. It marks the site of the 1760 Battle of Sainte-Foy. Visitors go here to walk through open green spaces and view historical markers that trace the events of the battle.

The park is accessible from the city centre via local bus lines or a walk through the Montcalm neighborhood. Depending on your starting point in the centre, the trip typically takes 15 to 25 minutes.
