40 Days, 40 Churches
Day 5: Le Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal, Montreal PQ
This was a stop during my lone visit to Montreal, and it was a nice diversion in a city whose best-known building is the woeful Olympic Stadium. The two things I really remember from the visit was the modernly-appointed chapel that was bigger than any church I'd been to up to that time, and a tour guide's comment that equated Celine Dion's wedding with a major affair of state. It was funny at the time, but in retrospect is surprisingly apt.
Interestingly, the website has links for English-langauge content, but they don't seem to work. Which is just how the Quebecois like it, you'd have to think.
