LAST church I promise. 😁
There are so many cathedrals in Quebec but this one stands out. Basilica of Sainte-Anne-du-Beaupre is one of the largest pilgrimage cathedrals in North America. It sees over 1/2 million pilgrims a year.
Of course the pictures don’t capture the absolutely stunning details but you get a snapshot of the beauty.
This cathedral had little chapels all around the front that contained shrines for different saints. You’ll see Saint Patrick in photo #5.
In photo #8 it’s not lost on me that we were sitting in a McDonald’s for lunch with St. Anne’s in the background. Hey, it was close and we were hungry. 😆
After our tour of the cathedral we headed over the bridge to Ile D’Orleans. This is the most quaint and cute place with wineries, microbreweries, cheese makers, and ice cream shops. And, yes, we visited one of each of these. 🍷🍻🧀🍦
On our way home we got a quick drive-by glimpse of Montmorency Falls. Pretty spectacular even from afar.
J’aime Quebec!❤️
