The 19th century Old Port (Vieux Port) in Québec is a national historic site and was once a hive of commercial activity centered on Bassin Louise. 

The 19th century is brought vividly to life again in the Center d'Interprétation and through the visually stunning projections and soundtrack of the Image Mill (Le Moulin à images) during summer. 

Also on the waterfront, the daily Marché du Vieux-Port is a public market with everything from local farm produce to bicycle rentals
