We visited the basilica recently and found it very beautiful and informative. We also took a guided tour of the crypt below the church ($5 per person) which we strongly recommend.We learned a lot about the history of Quebec City and its french influence.

It is a beautiful Cathedrale, serene and gorgeous. You must take the guided tour of the Crypt and they do have it in English as well

We went to visit this beautiful cathedral and took a tour of the interior and after I decided to go to the crypts. It was very interesting to learn about the history of the cathedral and its key figured. my favorite part was the part that was old and not renovated. we also attended mass and it was very nice...

I've visited a fair number of notre dames. This was very small, but lovely. If you are interested in seeing mass, it was wonderful. I don't know if every mass is so short--30 minutes--but it was great to experience a mass here.

It amazes me how they've preserved this Cathedral through all the changes in Quebec City. Leave a donation!

Take time to visit this beautiful cathedral, walk around and then sit for awhile, quiet yourself and take it in. Absolutely gloriously stunning!

A small cathedral just like you see in every village in Europe. There is nothing great about it. The interiors are also moderate but give it a go if you plan to visit the Lower Town.

A stunning basilica in Quebec City. It is a must see for its architectural beauty. Arched ceilings, stained glass windows, crypt. On Sunday, prior to the 9:30AM mass, priests come out and chant vespers in french - a delightful experience for the faithful. The mass said in french is truly a beautiful and grand event of worship.
