For the past 13 years, history is brought to life by the SAQ New France Festival. With a series of ongoing activities, the festival makes us experience the everyday life of the first European settlers of the 17th and 18th centuries, here in Quebec City. This year, St-Jean Street takes part in the festivities.

( 1 côte de la Fabrique ) The courtyard of the Vieux-Séminaire de Québec is truly the heart of the old city. A French regime gem, the architecture of the old seminary dominates the urban skyline in this area and is particularly representative of the city. Restoration of the Vieux-Séminaire was managed by the Commission. Illumination highlights the clean, classic architecture of its ancient wings and makes it a high point of Québec City cultural history.
( 65 rue Sainte-Anne ) The Price Building stands in the center of Old Québec. Built in 1929, it is one of the capital’s oldest skyscrapers, and the only one in the Art Deco style. It houses the official residence of the Québec premier. When illuminated, the 17-story building’s architectural elements are bathed in color, standing out against the shadows of its façade. This project was part of a program to enhance Québec City’s appeal at nightfall.
( At the intersection of Rue Charlevoix and Côte du Palais ) The Fresque de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec is painted on the outer walls of the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec teaching facility. This 420-square meter mural depicts key individuals and events in the history of North America’s oldest hospital, Hôtel-Dieu de Québec (1639), and displays architectural elements used over the centuries.
