Summary edit

Description
English: A View of the North West part of the City of Quebec, taken from St Charles's River
Français : Vue de la partie Nord-Ouest de la ville de Quebec, prise de la rivière Saint-Charles
La traverse de la rivière Saint-Charles
« En 1626, les Jésuites se voyaient accorder la seigneurie Notre-Dame-des-Anges. Elle englobait la rivière Saint-Charles depuis son embouchure jusqu’au ruisseau Saint-Michel (aujourd’hui l’autoroute Laurentienne) et elle s'étendait jusqu'à Charlesbourg. À cette époque, quiconque voulait se rendre par voie terrestre de Québec à Beauport ou à Charlesbourg, ou vice versa, devait inévitablement traverser la rivière Saint-Charles. C’est le 27 juillet 1667 qu’Alexandre de Prouville, marquis de Tracy, signait une ordonnance qui accordait aux seigneurs de l’endroit, les pères jésuites, l’exclusivité du passage sur la rivière Saint-Charles. Ceux-ci fixent des tarifs et un dénommé Renaut est engagé comme un passeur. Certains tenteront de contourner cette façon de faire, mais se feront rappeler à l'ordre en justice. Ils jouiront de cette exclusivité jusqu'à l’arrivée des Anglais en 1759. Il faudra attendre 1789 avant de voir un premier pont enjamber la rivière, tout près de l'actuel pont Drouin. » – Société historique de Québec
