Subject field(s)
  • Historical Park and Site Names
OBS

The data, taken from a written source, should not include "Québec," nor should it be a "National Historic Park." No such park still exists in Canada, all having become a "National Historic Site of Canada." The park, located on the Plains of Abraham in the town of Québec, is rather named: National Battlefields Park.

OBS

The site of many clashes for supremacy between the French and British Empires, the park is the scene of the 1759 Conquest, which changed the fate of North America.

Key term(s)
  • Plains of Abraham National Battlefields Park

French

Domaine(s)
  • Noms de parcs, lieux et canaux historiques
OBS

La donnée extraite de la source écrite est le fruit d’une inversion. Le nom correct de ce parc aurait dû être rétabli et se lire, conformément aux règles d’écriture :parc historique national des Champs-de-Bataille-Nationaux, à Québec. Cependant, il n’ existe plus de «parcs historiques nationaux», tous étant devenus «lieu historique national du Canada», administré ou non par Parcs Canada. Ce parc se nomme plutôt le «parc des Champs-de-Batailles-Nationaux»; il est situé à Québec, sur les plaines d’Abraham.

OBS

Lieu d’affrontement des Empires français et anglais en quête d’hégémonie, le parc fût le théâtre de luttes dont l’issue, la Conquête de 1759, a changé le sort de l’Amérique.
