La place du Québec

Québec square

The old platefrom of the bastion called the "Cavalier des Champs-Vauverts" was

renamed the Place du Québec (Québec Square) in 1984 to mark the 450th anniversary of the

first voyage by Jacques Cartier (Saint-Malo 1491- Saint-Malo 1557) to Canada in 1534

 

Cavalier is the French name for a fortification work placed inside an enclosing wall. The latter

was erected from 1565 to 1654. It became an arsenal in the days of the Saint-Malo Republic

(1590-1594)

 

The entryway has an alcove above it containing a statuette of St. Barbe, the patron saint of old

Saint-Malo gunners.

 

The bronze statue of Robert Surcouf (Saint-Malo 1773 - Saint-Malo 1827) made by

Alfred Caravaniez (1902) was placed there in 1958. The sculptor depicted the corsair ordering

an enemy ship he is pointing at to be boarded.

 

The buildings of the old arsenal now house the Maison du Québec (an office run by the

Provincial Government of Québec).
