"Joan of Arc Gardens" Top 5 Page for this destination Plains of Abraham (Battlefields Park) Tip by Bwana_Brown

  Joan of Arc Memorial Garden - Early Morning
by Bwana_Brown
 
 

The Plains of Abraham along the cliff overlooking the St. Lawrence River are a great spot to stoll around. The landscaping and views are both amazing in this, Canada's equivalent of Central Park in New York.

Only a few steps away from the Loews hotel, along the inland edge of the Plains, I came across this pretty flower garden. The Joan of Arc Gardens, featuring a statue of her on a horse, is in tribute to all those who fell on both the English and French sides during the colonial wars for control of North America.

The flowers and shrubs were in great form when I was there, very enjoyable!
