Place D'Youville
Place D’Youville has been a focal point and gathering place for a very long time.
It began as Montcalm public market, one of Québec’s busiest from 1878 to 1929. Its cultural vocation came to the fore in 1903 with the opening of Auditorium de Québec, then Palais Montcalm in 1932. The square went on to become an outdoor venue for the Winter Carnival, the Québec Summer Festival, annual city celebrations, and the inauguration of the 400th anniversary of Québec City. Place D’Youville certainly knows how to throw a party!
