Fort Jacques-Cartier, Military fort in Cap-Santé, Canada.
Fort Jacques-Cartier sits on elevated ground near the Saint Lawrence River, featuring defensive walls constructed with local stone materials during colonial times.
French forces established this fortification in September 1759 under François de Lévis's command, serving as their final stronghold until British capture in September 1760.
The fort complex includes the Manoir Allsopp, a residence that exemplifies traditional French-Canadian architectural elements from the 18th century.
Visitors can reach the fort site by following the former Chemin du Roy road, with informational displays explaining the military structures and archaeological findings.
The fort's terrain contains visible depressions and elevations that mark the exact locations of original defensive structures from the Seven Years' War period.
