Bois-de-Coulonge Park, Botanical garden in Sillery, Canada.

The 24-hectare park contains wooded areas, gardens, heritage buildings, and walking trails overlooking the Saint Lawrence River.

The land was established as a unique châtellenie in 1657 by Louis d'Ailleboust, the second governor of New France.

The estate served as the official residence for Quebec's lieutenant-governors from 1870 to 1966, hosting formal receptions and concerts.

The park features public restrooms in former stables, free parking on evenings and weekends, and accessibility via bus routes 11 and 25.

Lady Perceval's botanical discoveries from the estate grounds during the 1800s contributed to several notable herbarium collections of that period.
