dc.descriptionView looking east toward a viewing pavilion; Inside the walls of the upper town the rubble of the Château St Louis formed the base of Dufferin Terrace (1838-1878), a spacious promenade dominated by the Château Frontenac Hotel (1892-1895), a fantastical French Renaissance Revival design by Bruce Price. Baillairgé also designed the kiosks on the Terrace. [The promenade and boardwalk offers the city's best view of the Saint Lawrence River and Old Quebec. Full of vendors, street performers and scores of visitors in the summer, the boardwalk is also an excellent starting point for touring the rest of the city, descending from the staircase to the Lower Town, or riding the precipitous funicular railway. The spectacular Promenade des Gouverneurs leaves the Terrace to the south, runs beneath the Citadel, and emerges at the Plains of Abraham.] Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/10/2008)en_US
