Then proceed along the route of the Rideau Canal to Ottawa, standing at the confluence of the Ottawa, Gatineau and Rideau rivers.

Within the walls are the Place d'Armes, the Laval Seminary and the star-plan Citadelle. Also see the stone houses crowding the narrow streets of Lower Town and ancient Place Royal by the St Lawrence River, and the historic Plains of Abraham where General Wolfe stormed the slopes.
