Grande Allée, Main avenue in Quebec City, Canada
Grande Allée extends from Parliament Hill through Saint-Louis Gate, featuring rows of American elm trees and Victorian architecture along its path.
The avenue originated in 1648 as a country road connecting the governor's residence at Cape Diamond to Cap Rouge, spanning ten kilometers westward.
Second Empire mansions line the avenue, constructed between 1877 and 1900 by Quebec's politicians, officials, and business leaders as their private residences.
The street contains numerous restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, with sections becoming pedestrian-only during summer weekends and festivals.
Electric streetlights and one of Quebec City's first electric tramway lines were installed on Grande Allée in the late 1880s.
