Religious Heritage : Quebec City
 The Québec region has a rich religious heritage. The Île d'Orléans has six churches to itself. Visit the basilicas, the cathedrals, the churches and the cemetaries and discover all the beauty of these peaceful worship sites. Visit also the Cyclorama of Jérusalem, where you can see some Bible scenes represented along a beautiful circular wall. Visit the Portneuf region, where the rural churches are worth the detour.
