Parc de l'Artillerie

This guide to Parc de l'Artillerie in Quebec City starts with a mismatch: a stone redoubt raised in seventeen twelve for a single company of soldiers that later filled with more than seven thousand workers. You'll hear how the half-finished fortress sat empty after the Treaty of Utrecht, became barracks decades later, then a cartridge factory in the eighteen seventies, and finally a round-the-clock munitions plant during the Second World War. It follows the women who squeezed through corridors that were never widened for the job.
