エイブラハム平原の戦い
In 1744, colonists completed the "Chemin Royal" (Royal Road), which encircles the entire island. Jean Mauvide, a surgeon for the King of France, built the "Manoir Mauvide-Genest" in 1734 as his residence. In 1759 it was occupied by British General Wolfe when his forces occupied the island shortly before the Battle of the Plains of Abraham during the Seven Years' War. Great Britain was victorious.
