Musee canadien de l’Arme et du Bronze

Museum whose mission is to preserve our heritage, act as a witness to the past, protect a legacy for future generations and raise awareness of a special world and its beauties and challenges.

Reviewed By Dawn-World - Calgary, Canada

I was dubious, but decided to be open minded and I’m glad I was. This is a small museum featuring modern armament/guns, displayed in the basement of a beautiful building. The gorgeous display cases and intelligently displayed pieces completely intrigued us for 90 minutes...even though I don’t understand the fascination people have with weapons. The real attraction was the founder and our guide, Jacques. He was so darn personable and spoke with such thoughtful authority on a subject that has massive financial, economic, cultural and emotional repercussions...I loved the opportunity to learn and see so much. Fantastic experience for everyone.

We returned to the Citadelle with visitors from Chile! They were mesmerized by the outstanding( as always) Changing of the Guard ceremony presented daily at 10:30, weather permitting, during the spring-fall months. BatisseXII, regimental mascot, a goat from the Royal herd, joined his regiment on parade. The ceremony lasts about 35 min, is conducted in French, the language of the Royal22nd( VanDoo’s) Regiment, and is easy to follow due to bilingual commentary offered by a Commentator. The tickets may be bought on site or reserved on the Web. Site for this attraction. Free to active\ retired military with I.D. and immediate family. Suggest...go early to get a seat, better near the speaker’s podium. May remain for photos with the Mascot and his keeper. Very interesting tours and self guided tours of the area. Washrooms on premise, souvenir sales, some refreshments. Medals donated to the Regiment by former members are displayed in a special room and are most impressive for anyone with a knowledge of Canadian military history. Our S.American friends were most pleased with their visit to the Citadelle. Very limited parking in the area, suggest walking up to the area.

Musee du Fort

This small museum chronicles the history of the city, including the numerous battles fought for its control.

Reviewed By NYRickWeber - New York City, United States

We wanted a good historical "tour" of Quebec. We took a chance on this exhibit. It is SOOO worth it. The attendant was super friendly, super informative, really made us feel at home. There is a lot of historical information at this place. The time goes by really fast. It's not a movie or a live demonstration. It's on the 2nd floor. I'm handicapped but was able to slowly climb the one flight of stairs. I didn't see an elevator. Once you buy your ticket, you'll get a list of places that will offer you a discount if y you show your receipt. Go here first, then explore the rest of Quebec City
