Promenade Samuel De-Champlain

Promenade Samuel De-Champlain, promenade along the Saint Lawrence River in Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge, Quebec City, Canada

Promenade Samuel-De-Champlain is a 2.5 km public promenade along the St. Lawrence River between côte Ross and côte de Sillery, divided into four themed stations: Station des Cageux with a rehabilitated industrial wharf, observation tower and controlled marsh; Station des Sports with two soccer fields and a multi-use track; Station des Quais with four themed gardens (Quai-des-Brumes, Quai-des-Flots, Quai-des-Hommes, Quai-des-Vents) and contemporary artworks; and Boisé de Tequenonday, a rocky wooded area with prehistoric Amerindian remains and pines up to 30 m tall, linked by a staircase.

The reconfiguration of Boulevard Champlain was announced on 3 September 1998 by Sillery mayor Paul Shoiry and the Commission de la capitale nationale du Québec. The promenade project was unveiled on 26 June 2002, originally spanning 12 km from the Montmorency to the Cap Rouge rivers at a cost of 175 million dollars. On 3 May 2005 the scope was reduced to 2.5 km and 70 million dollars; work began on 12 June 2006 and the promenade was inaugurated on 24 June 2008, Quebec's national holiday, with Premier Jean Charest present.

The name honors Samuel de Champlain, the founder of Quebec City, connecting visitors to the region's origins. Today, locals use the space as a gathering place to experience the river and its role in shaping the city and surrounding communities.

The promenade runs about 2.5 km along the St. Lawrence between côte Ross and côte de Sillery, with separate pedestrian and cycling paths. The Boisé de Tequenonday connects to the Station des Cageux by a staircase with river viewpoints. A 3.1 km pedestrian link, the Sentier des Grèves, continues west from the quai des Cageux to parc de la plage Jacques-Cartier.

The Boisé de Tequenonday sits atop a rocky ledge and holds prehistoric Indigenous archaeological remains along with century-old trees, including pines close to 30 metres tall. A staircase links it to the Station des Cageux, with varied viewpoints along the way.
