Rue du Petit-Champlain fresco
The fresco painted on the side of the building at 102 rue du Petit-Champlain is a trompe-l'œil measuring 100m2 (900ft2). It represents the history of the district, the bombardments of 1759, the landslides, and the fires which have occurred in the district.[3]
The Breakneck Stairs or Breakneck Steps (French: Escalier casse-cou), Quebec City's oldest stairway, were built in 1635. Today they are a popular viewpoint for tourists to view rue du Petit-Champlain.
