Anse au Foulon

Anse au Foulon (English: Fuller's Handle) is a small cove in Quebec, Canada.

Since that date, Anse au Foulon and Sillery (reconstituted as a neighbourhood (quartier)) have been officially located in Quebec City.

[3][4] On the night of 12 September 1759, and early morning hours on the 13th,[3][5] British forces commanded by James Wolfe landed at Anse au Foulon, prior to proceeding to the Plains of Abraham, where they engaged and defeated the French forces commanded by the Marquis de Montcalm, resulting in the occupation of Quebec City, and the subsequent signing of the Treaty of Paris (1763).

The etymology of the toponym originates from a fulling mill (French: foulon) that the Séminaire de Québec built in 1710, at the base of the cliff which met the cove.

On 5 December 1968, the Commission de toponymie du Québec recognized Wolfe's Cove as the topographic feature's official name;[7] however, this decision was superseded on 17 August 1978, when the commission recognized Anse au Foulon as the official name.
