Place Royale is a small cobbled square in the Lower Town of Quebec City, regarded as the birthplace of French civilization in North America where Samuel de Champlain established a trading post in 1608. The square is dominated by the stone church of Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, one of the oldest churches on the continent, and ringed by restored merchant houses. A bust of Louis XIV stands at its centre. The surrounding streets preserve the dense colonial fabric of the early settlement.
