On the corner of rue des Jardins and rue St-Louis - the main restaurant strip in Vieux-Quebec - stands Maison Jacquet , occupied by the restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens . The name comes from Quebec's first novel, whose author, Philippe Aubert de Gaspe, lived here for a while in the middle of the nineteenth century. Dating from 1677, the house is another good example of seventeenth-century New France architecture, as is the blue-and-white Maison Kent at no. 25 on the other side of rue St-Louis, which was built in 1649. Once home of Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, it's best known as the place where the capitulation of Quebec was signed in 1759.
