Commemorating the past: the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France
After the success of the Médiévales de Québec festival, it was decided to create a festival that reflected the history of Québec City. The Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France was born to celebrate the historic origins of French in America. Since 1997, these festivities have brought the old city to life every year. For French-speakers from Quebec and all over North America, the festival is a chance to immerse themselves in their cultural past. Of course, the festivities are also open to visitors from all over the world. Come and join in the fun!
Jean-Marie Villeneuve
Samuel de Champlain is credited with founding Québec City in 1608. He was a navigator, cartographer, soldier, explorer, geographer, commander and author of French travel books. Thanks to his determination and ambition, the colony took root and prospered in this new territory, garnering him the title of “Father of New France.”
