The plains lie at the western edge of the old walled city, overlooking the St. Lawrence River. The plateau was the scene of a battle (September 13, 1759) between the French under the Marquis de Montcalm and the British under James Wolfe in which both leaders were killed but which secured Quebec for the British.
