Centre d’interprétation de la vie urbaine de la ville de Québec

Multifaceted interpretation of the city has been our mission for more than 20 years. The organization’s activities focus on the urban experience. New technologies make it possible to explore the city in an original and surprising way. The Centre d’interprétation de la vie urbaine de la Ville de Québec offers modern-day geo rallies with GPS devices and caches, combining history, heritage, culture and real-time discovery of archaeological sites. From June on, visitors can enjoy the exhibition-experience, Vieux-Québec through Augmented Reality, at Place-Royale.
