Place de la Grande-Paix

Place de la Grande-Paix Review

If you're looking for peace and quiet, the narrow strip of grass and trees on Place d'Youville just east of Place Royale is an appropriate place to find it. It was here, after all, that the French signed a major peace treaty with dozens of aboriginal nations in 1702. It was also here that the first French colonists landed their four boats on May 17, 1642. An obelisk records the names of the settlers.
