Statue of Samuel de Champlain, Bronze statue in Old Quebec City, Canada.
The monument stands 16 meters tall with a 4.25-meter bronze representation of Samuel de Champlain on the Dufferin Terrace next to Château Frontenac.
French sculptor Paul Chevré created this monument in 1898 to commemorate Samuel de Champlain, who established Quebec City as a French settlement in 1608.
The base features allegorical bronze figures, including a woman representing Quebec City recording historical events and a child symbolizing navigation science.
Visitors can reach the monument by walking along the Dufferin Terrace, which provides direct views of the St. Lawrence River and the historic district.
The limestone base of this monument comes from the same quarry that supplied materials for the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
