Ste-Foy is a bastion of modernity in history-obsessed Quebec City. Located just west of downtown Quebec, Ste-Foy is the transportation hub for the Greater Quebec City region. The Aeroport International Jean-Lesage and two major bridges across the St. Lawrence River—the historic Pont de Quebec and the modern Pont Pierre-Laporte—are all located in Ste-Foy. There is plenty to see and do in Ste-Foy. The Parc Aquarium du Quebec features an indoor pavillion and a 16 hectare outdoor park, which help house the over 3,500 marine specimens living within the park. For those interested in shopping, several major shopping centres—including Eastern Canada's largest shopping mall, Place Laurier—can be found in Ste-Foy. The city is also known for being the home to one of Canada's most respected institutes of higher learning, Universite Laval.
