The little street Horatio Nelson in St. Roch reminds us that the famous hero of the Royal Navy visited Quebec City in the 18th century. His stay lasted barely three weeks. As such, the event is of little importance in the career of the illustrious admiral. But it could have significantly changed the course of history. The reason? As they say in French murder mystery novels, cherchez la femme.
