Some Historic Churches of Québec

I was recently browsing through an interesting book which I am pleased to have as part of my personal library, The Old Churches of the Province of Québec: 1647-1800, and it put to mind a post I did last year -- in fact, almost one year ago exactly -- New France and Old Québec: Some History and Architecture. This in turn led me to consider that I had often thought I would like to show a few more of the churches of Québec. Accordingly, here are some -- a few of which we have shown before.


Église Notre-Dame-des-Victoires in Place Royal, Québec City, 1688.

Incidentally, I would be very interested to hear from some of our readers in Québec, and in particular, Québec City.

And to readers generally: feel free to share more in the comments.
