The gothic-style fountain at place d’Armes is crowned by Monument de la Foi and commemorates the 300th anniversary of the arrival of the Récollet missionaries in 1615.

The fountain stands beneath the windows of Château Frontenac hotel, smack dab in the middle of one of the liveliest places in Old Québec. In the summer months, it attracts throngs of visitors with rue du Trésor and its artists, street entertainers, horsedrawn carriages, and a string of restaurants and sidewalk patios all just around the corner.
