Côte de la Montagne, Thoroughfare in Vieux-Québec, Canada
The steep street links the Upper Town and Lower Town sections of Quebec City through a path that follows the natural terrain of Cap Diamant.
The road dates back to 1608 when Samuel de Champlain established Quebec City, making it one of the first streets in North America.
The street manifests the French colonial urban planning principles, connecting religious buildings, administrative centers, and commercial areas of Old Quebec.
The stone steps and wide cobblestone path accommodate both pedestrians and vehicles, providing access to numerous shops and restaurants along its course.
From certain points along this ascending thoroughfare, visitors can see both the Saint Lawrence River and the fortified walls of Upper Town.
