About
Fort Jacques-Cartier de Cap Sante was a fort on the north shore of the St Lawrence River approximately 30km southwest of Quebec City. The fort was constructed by French Canadians after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the taking of Quebec by the British army in 1759. It was constructed on land conceded to Adrien Pichet (died 1739) who built a house along the Chemin du Roy on a promontory overlooking the St Lawrence River. This location is now part of the village of Cap-Sante.
