Portneuf County, a rural area just west of Québec City, offers visitors a less packaged Québec experience. English is not widely spoken, no grand hotels have been built and there is no mascot. Instead, there are a number of small farming villages, the oldest highway in Québec, small country churches and a vast expanse of mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, cliffs and waterfalls.

Trait-Carre
Dating to 1665, the Trait-Carré is an historic area whose singular urban zoning, historical background and architectural elements are unique in Québec. Constructed in a star-chaped pattern converging on a central area, the mission was designed to allow a quick defensive organization of the settlers against attack. A pedestrian walkway circles the Trait-Carré; walking maps and tours are available from the Moulin des Jesuites. |
