Our comfortable tour bus, parked in front of the Artillery in Quebec City.

The horse drawn carriges were all around the cities. In Quebec a few of our group members hired one to tour the city.

The front of the Notre Dame Bascilica.

James O'Donnell, and Irish Protestant from New York, was the Basilica's architect. Legend has it that the church was so beautiful, he converted to Catholicism. The building was constructed 1824-1829.

The interior of the Basilica was inspired by the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. Victor Bourgeau, designed the interior. It was completed about 1880.

Henri Bouriche created the sculptures for the alter. The Eucharist, Christ's sacrifice, is the centerpiece. this sacrifice is announced in the Old Testament and depicted in four sculptures that surround the Crucifixion, Moses, Abraham & Issac, Aron, and Melchisedech. There are also six statues portraying St. Peter, St. Paul, and the four Evangelists.

The original chapel was destroyed by fire, and this new one was built between 1979 and 1982.
