Cap-Blanc, Residential district in Vieux-Québec, Canada
Cap-Blanc stretches along the St. Lawrence River at the base of Cape Diamond cliffs, forming a narrow residential strip between water and rock.
The neighborhood developed in the 19th century as a maritime workers' settlement, supporting Quebec City's port activities and shipbuilding industry.
Cap-Blanc residents maintain strong connections to maritime traditions through local festivals and community gatherings near the St. Lawrence River.
The district connects to Upper Town via the Cap-Blanc stairs, consisting of 398 steps that provide pedestrian access through the cliff face.
The neighborhood sits beneath North America's largest urban climbing wall, created from the natural limestone cliffs of Cape Diamond.
