A church you cannot miss last time we walked in the bells were ringing and a mass was starting we enjoyed the mass and felt the peace

Majestic church, a great stop along the way. Free parking and entrance

Rodrigo Letelier

It's a beautiful place, to visit, to go and make up your mind, to think, to connect with your inner peace, even if you're not a believer.

Beautiful place to visit and pray. Summer 2020 will be a memorable season for all of us because of pandemic, stay healthy and be safe.

Divya Binu

The Basilica is open everyday and is famous for its miracle to cure many sick and disable people.

Brian Smith

IMPRESSIVE SITE, similar to European basilicas. As a kid, I recall hundreds of crutches and assistive devices lining the foyer pillars, supposedly a testament to the power within. Most of those crutches are now gone. Beyond the building, Definitely, check out the hillside Stations of the Cross for a quiet, reflective, religious respite.

Arturo Rivero

Beautiful basilica visited by John Paul II. On the lower level there is a replica of the Pietá by Michelangelo.

Stephen G. Burley

Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking we hadn't planned on going there but are certainly glad we did very beautiful part of Quebec history a machine for anybody traveling here. A few sneak preview pics to entice those who love history. For us Christian's no enticement required! ????????

Tasneem A

Stunningly beautiful. You experience the sheer presence of the Basilica from the street when you drive up to it. There are no large buildings nearby so, the Basilica can be clearly seen from a distance. Once stepping inside you experience a quiet sense of peace. The decor is stunning and colourful. Everything from the stained-glass windows to the huge columns draw the eye.

Many many years ago In my 20’s I visited this church very sick I asked I prayed to be better now … I am 50 years old and in great health miracles can happen here it had for me !!!!!

Stuart Bowland

Beautiful architecture. Free to tour. Very nice ceiling.

Oana Sirb

Stunning pilgrimage spot if you are catholic or not. Great for mediation and reflection, a never ending maze of underground chapels.

Nicholas Petrillo

Well worth the drive. Massive church and beautiful. Mass offered regularly. Despite the size, it was very warm and inviting. I didn't feel lost in its space. The art work is beautiful and tells the story of Mary's parents. Parking was easy, and there are multiple sites to visit.

John Lee

The basilica is enormous and spectacular.

Beautiful area. The Basilica is spectacular.

Chery Villegas (CNVMovilla)

This place is magnificent! From building exterior - down to the basement. This Catholic Sanctuary is well preserved and is visited by pilgrims from different countries around the world. Directions inside the church will guide you well if you are travelling by yourself. It also has a souvenir shop and is very close to food establishments whenever food is needed.

Sandeep Bajpai

Beautiful. Peaceful. Grand. Must see

Lawrence Miglialo

The church is an architectural beauty. The stone carvings and paintings are vivid and one can spend hours staring at every nook. Attributed to the mother of Virgin Mary, Saint Anne (Jesus' Gma). Apparently A relic of her forearm exists inside the basilica. There are some particularly concerning paintings of indigenous people.

Juan Paz-Viera

The most beautiful church in all Quebec. 30 min north of Quebec city. Surrounded by a natural beautiful environment. A gorgeous front fountain/ sculpture as well as a boutique for all religious theme objects. Must visit for every tour north of Quebec.

T.N

This religious building is located 20 minutes from Quebec City . This historically place has been credited with many miracles, it has cured many sick and disabled person And welcomes half a million pilgrims every year .It’s a must!!!!

Matt Surrey

The most beautiful place to visit in the area. Fantastic.

Ashly Rodrigues

Beautiful cathedral with a cute little street to walk around as well as a gorgeous fountain. Free to enter and look around.

Albert Riezebos

Wonderful experience, I have ancestry from here. I mostly walked the grounds and didn't have a chance to go inside. Very nicely laid out and peaceful. Many of my ancestors lived here so it was great to walk where they lived and worshipped. There's a plaque on a pole where the original church was located. Easy to get to from Quebec City. Worth the trip!

Michael Jursic

It is beautiful! Mass was going on so we weren't able to tour the place but the walk around the area is beautiful.

Nali Yan

This sanctuary is amazingly beautiful. There is one of two Basilicas in Québec. You can see the 14 scenes of the last time of Jesus Christ during walking up the slope. The resonance of the bells is brilliant, you can hear it on YouTube by YCG film studio.

DARIO V

Beautiful inside and out. One of The most popular pelerinage places in North America

Ivan De Dios

Majestic basilica, beautiful and peaceful. Impressive wall and roof painting.

Kate Z.

Must see if you are in the area

This is a beautiful religious spot to visit when you are in Montreal. I, my mom, and my uncle had a peaceful time going around, taking pictures, and praying for the whole family here.

Kyle O'Connor

Beautifully ornate building. Take the time to explore this place, many stories unfold. Highly recommended to visit.

Mathieu Guimond

Good place to quickly go in and out, past that there is another place for ice cream that has a boardwalk with other shops we did not visit those. Good service and my son enjoyed his ice cream.

Kevin Roche

I came here many years ago and I wanted to come back. It's quite nice here. I walked around, there were many other travelers, the staff member said many Anglophones visit the church today.

Joey Peterpaul (NDN JOE , #ndnjoe)

Great looking Church , History that goes with it, I would like to say more, You'll have to go here to see it for your self Joe

Brian OConnor

Beautiful both inside &outside Went. to Mass there and felt a true sense of the Lord.

Aranya Jocky

The place is so relaxing and calm. Felt like i went 100 years back.

Michelle Turenne

I'm not a religious person but can appreciate architecture and design. This beautiful basilica built in the gothic style, 1934 was extraordinary. As you enter, you are overwhelmed by the beauty and artistry - the height, stained glass, carvings and detailed images on the ceiling. 2 things struck me. 1 - the number of miracles that occurred here (note canes, crutches on column both sides of the nave). 2 - there is an electronic cash machine that accepts payment for the lighting of votives or fulfillment of vows. Hello 2021!

Edel Lopez

Breathtaking place! A secret treasure on the way to canyon Saint Anne. Worth the visit because is very impressive. A wonder of Catholicism in Quebec. Impressive, clean and organize. Please keep distancing and masks on to avoid spreading the virus.

Emily Chu

It was most unique and peaceful basilica that I visited. I was touched by looking at all the crutches hanging on the wall with real people’s pictures. Don’t miss out little slop with Jesus last 14 scenes if you’re Christian.

Willy Montes

Very beautiful construction. Due to capacity limits I couldn't go inside but you can appreciate its architecture from outside.

One of the largest basilicas in Quebec City. This basilica houses great architectural work and intracate design making this a must see for a trip to Quebec City.

Cry

It is a beautiful place, i love it, we had a great time here. The Sanctuary is amazing.

Thuva Thurairajah

This was the most breathtaking church I ever been to. The inside of the church is just amazing with so much work done. We loved it.

Anthony Fauré

Absolutely stunning! This church is a gem! Definitely worth a drive out to the Beaupre Coast!

Architecture like no other. Reminds me of traditional France.

Olivier Labrie

Very beautiful, huge Chappelle any catholic should visit.

Daniel Mullin

Almost didn't go to this. So glad we did, BEAUTIFUL. Can't do justice with words.

Tanya Belleau

Beautiful basilica. Such a peaceful and holy place to reflect. There is also the Jerusalem Cyclorama nearby and cute little chapels. Lovely place - an Art Gallery, ice cream shop and a couple of souvenirs shops in the square (bought a great pair of First Nations handmade moccasins there and great wood sculptures - great quality and prices !!) You can also bike / drive on Avenue Royale all the way to Montmorency Falls (Chutes Montmorency) - a scenic route where you drive through charming little towns : historical houses and great places selling antiques, fresh produce and produits du terroir québécois (cheese, maple syrup, butter spread, sucre à la crème, apple jam, etc.)

Dawa Lama

Beautiful church so serene & peaceful. Enjoyed the short talk show given by a guide. Just kneeling & praying for your near and dear ones gives you a peace of mind. Looking at the intricate drawings and just thanking the artists quietly lifted my spirits.

Daniela

Awesome view! Very beautiful church

Monica Hattie

Grew up with my grandmother going on an annual pilgrimage to this place. I didn't go in, but the outside was still awe worthy.

Lorna Spaas

Lovely place, stunning architecture. Take time to explore the place and enjoy the peace and serenity of it.

Teresa DeRubeis

Im not remotely religious, but it was one of the most gorgeous structures I've ever seen

Wow what a beautiful church. I am not a Christian but I can definitely feel the spiritual power of this place. Very calm, positive and beautiful vibes with spectacular views. It is a must visit place.

Reaz Ahmed

Late check in was easy, clean rooms and seems like enough entertainment for children. Location is great.

Veronica John

Beautiful basilica dedicated to St.Anne! Must visit if you’re visiting quebec city. Especially loved the Exact roman copy of the Pieta sculpture!

Cynthia Manzanares

A solemn place to pray and take solace from the hustles of street life.

Orlando Navarro

A must visit church with incredible architecture, beautiful frescoes and history. Very well worth the trip and the self-guided tour even if you are not catholic. Catch services here if you can. There is train nearby and plenty of local souvenir stores around the church plaza with very friendly employees. Getting there and parking was very easy.

Daisylyn Donaire

Amazing, beautiful picturesque

Alain Ayache

Marvelous as usual with a new Lebanese Saint (Saint Charbel) Statute. A worldwide known Saint for his miracle around the world touching all faiths.

W. P.

Beautiful, you can feel the prayers soaked into this church. Stunning architecture, tile work, etc.

Joel Delizo

Just the exterior of the Sanctuary is impressive. It reminded me so much of the cathedrals in Europe, but this one is right in our own "backyard". The interior is even more impressive. It is clean and well-kept. Take note that from the outside, you cannot tell that the windows are colored. It is only from being inside can you see the colors they hold.

rubliwton

Beautiful, awe and wonder inspiring church. Mass was wonderful. We got there to late to see too much. Recommend giving yourself a couple of hours.

Fredy Achuri

This place was amazing, so many things to see here, peaceful and a lot history ????

Shanna O'Brien

I am not religious - but I am a Christian, however being in this stunning Shrine gave me a new uplifting perspective to being a Christian. You cannot describe to someone how beautiful and spiritual it is.

Angela Salera

Absolutely magnificent church of beautiful architecture and religious artwork!

sandra coelho

Beautiful church inside and out. Always go to the church when visiting Quebec. It is so peaceful. You can buy holy pics oil rosary and much more and even get a blessing from the priest. Anyone can visit the church and it is free. If you want to donate money you can as there is a machine for debit/credit.

Wachester Huang

Verr worth visiting when you want to see beautiful foliage with the church.

Tulika Chakraborty

Felt the positive vibes and presence of a God there. Was very happy to be there

Tom indo

Very nice church and sacred too. Inside the church you can stop for some interesting praying spot. They have souvenir shop too and you there is also dedicated room with the father to bless your purchased or ask for bless for your self.

Akshay Gandhi

Another piece of amazing Architecture! I heard that this place heals and there are 2 walls with different crutches and sticks that are displayed where people have come in and have been cured. Have faith and you will be healed!

Paul Lin

Really cool church to check out, especially it's on the way to the fall.

S D

Beautiful church. Must visit once in life time.

Christine Monk

Important cultural spot to visit when in the Quebec City region

Alberto Morais

if you appreciate old church architecture, it's a must. do not forget to visit the chappel downstairs

abel fouopi lemouchele

Excellent place to have some quiet time. If you come to Quebec city, this is one of the "most visit" place, you will not regret. You can even sleep around because there is a lot of motels and hotels and guest House around. Have fun!!!

Mathieu Bellerive

Great landmark, area around this basilica worth a stroll too.

Gregory G

We visited Sainte Anne de Beaupre as a day trip from Quebec City. It was a pretty drive with views of the Saint Lawrence River and cute Quebec towns. The view of this Santuaire from the exterior is unreal! So breathtaking! We were able to participate in a free English speaking tour (I think they have them every other hour...alternating between French and English). The tour was excellent and we learned a great deal...which is important because there is so much to see and possibly miss here. We spent a couple hours here and I would absolutely say this place is a must see if you’re in the area!

Joelle Sarkis

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited so far in Quebec. I was happily surprised to find the statue of our Lebanese Saint Charbel. Don’t miss “Le Chemin de La Croix” or “le Calvaire”.

David McKay

Wow Beautiful place Visit if you can

Kari Caruana

What a beautiful place. As someone who doesn't necessarily believe in the institution, I think it's worth visiting for its cultural, architectural, and artistic value. Also, free parking!

issa dayoub

It's wonderful

Irfan Marzuki

The architecture is absolutely stunning! A must stop to visit and take photos.

Ivana Fulminis

Architecturally magnificent. Comparable to some of the much older and equally beautiful European counterparts. Open to public. No entrance fee the day we went. Public bathroom on-site. Was a lovely visit. Previous Ste.Anne churches nearby. Worth stopping by for awhile.

John & Amy Miller

Definitely worth a visit if you are staying in Quebec city. Short drive north. Great story. Only need an hour or so to see the whole church.

Chellaturai Prince

Very nice old church. Good surrounding views.

Sarah Osbourne

Such a beautiful place. Attended the mass, luckily it started shortly after we arrived. Wish my mother was still here so she could have seen this. My wish is that somehow she could momentarily vicariously live through me for this experience.

Joe Alphonso

Beautiful! A perfect place for worship, prayer and contemplation. I wonder if the locals know the treasure among them that this place is...in their very midst!

Jose Posada

Absolutely breath taking. One of the most beautiful structures I have ever visited. If traveling to Quebec City, this is a must see.

B H

A great visit to this huge church. Inside was quite nice considering the churches in Canada. Situated about 35 minutes from Quebec City...definitely need a car and would be worth the trip. If relying on Uber, not sure you would want to spend the money just to go here...not much around other than this church and a few smaller ones up the hill.

Brenda MacRae

I've been to other "Churches" but I was blown away by this one. I was in awe of everything. It's a must see even for other religions. Could have spent days there and not seen everything. Absolutely breathtaking.

Michael Marleau

It is a nice place to visit but if you've a few in Europe it will feel small.

Cora Cuyegkeng

It is a magnificent church well known for it's healing powers.

Gerry Paxton

The only word to describe this experience is overpowering. The architecture and artwork are truly powerful and whether you are a believer or not, you will be impressed with this glorious facility. The history and beauty is magnificent.

Nigel Peters

These are the Cathedrals which keep you in awe and wonder.The sheer size and magnitude of this structure is impressive. We unfortunately could not get to see the inside though as it was closed. This is a regret which I will always carry as I believe the inside is spectacular and out of this world. The grounds are big and immaculately maintained. They have a Souvenir shop which was also locked. There is limited parking outside and I'm not sure what parishners do when they hear Mass. This is a must see for anyone visiting the city.You can club this with Mont Morency which is nearby or on your way back from Tadussac / Baie St Catherine if you like whale watching.

Ljupco Markovski

Beautiful Cathedral, excellent craftsmanship, the best I have seen in NA, must see

Brian Murphy

Beautiful basilica in a most unexpected place. Interior and exterior are stunning and impressive. Only needs 1-2 hours. Combine it with Canyon Ste Anne for a great day trip from Quebec City!

Kienan Mick

A beautiful and sacred place. This is a pilgrimage site and the Stations of the Cross are moving.

Jude Fernando

We drove all the way from Toronto 9 hrs only to find out that the church is closed the has covid hrs. We went as their website showed regular hours with all mass timings We drove back to Montreal and stayed there total 15 hrs of driving Very irresponsible part of the administration

Tazmir Nahar

Really spectacular and big.

Shawnna Lazo

Beautiful breath taking cathedral!! We found this and I am so glad we did. There is also a little shop across the street, if you are facing the cathedral it is on your left. The woman was amazing and we bought so many souvenirs there at very reasonable prices. She also shared that there are Falls just up the road but they were closed when we got there.

Horváth Ádám

Wunderful chatedral in Canada. Two floors and both of them are beautiful. The bottom is in "old" style with a lot of blue and gold color. The top one is a modern chatedral with a lot of mosaik.

Labrador Kiko

Beautiful architecture church. Spacious and many paintings, mosaics, stained glass windows, stone and wooden sculptures reveal the extraordinary beauty and history of the Shrine.

Jismon Kurians

Wow ???? what a spectacular engineering beauty. The basilica and the chapel below are breath taking. The serenity of the basilica is beyond words and artworks and the structure are beyond words. The huge marble slabs and mosaics are out of the world and It's huge and very tall. The stations of the cross near the Church is really nice too. You could easily spend a day here if you would also like to attend mass at St. Anne's.

Jen M

Always a green church to visit, well worth the drive from the city. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the area.

Nathalia Zuñiga

Beautiful place; extraordinary experience. The Architecture is impressive. Mass was great! So happy we stopped and spent time there. Lots of history!
