This is one of the many multifunctional trails in the region. It follows the North Shore of the St Lawrence river beginning in the old port area and extending to the St Foy district near the two bridges. Much of the promenade in within green spaces, and the walking/ biking trail are separate. Total distance is 10 km, but the Promenade connects with other trails: 1) the south shore via the Pont de Quebec, 2) the St Charles River, 3) the Montmorency Falls and 4) the rail to trail route that extends to Rivière à Pierre, a town in the Portneuf Region about 100 km away. For the first time visitor, I highly recommend biking the circular route counterclockwise, starting from the Old Port and heading to the Pont de Québec, crossing over to the south shore, heading East to Levis, and finally taking the ferry (3$//bike+rider). Total riding distance is 34 km.
Nice path by the St-Lawrence Seaway. Different sculptures to see, sail boats in the summer and cruise ships in fall. Biking and roller blading also allowed
A real Promenade along the river with a beautiful view. North, can be seen the bridge which takes you to Ile d'Orleans, across is the city of Levis and south the City of Quebec. All in one is a travel back in time, a great view and good air.

Very nice waterfront plaza for viewing and learning history. A nice walk and hearing people talk from all over the world
it's a nice walk up to the plains of Abraham along the river, there is usually lots of people jogging or walking along here. It's pretty easy and not too many stairs. Part of a nice path you can stroll all the way around the old town
