Church of Our Lady of Victories
Located in the heart of Old Quebec, this stone church is one of the oldest religious structures in North America. Construction began in 1687 and was completed in 1723. Travelers visit this site to see early colonial architecture and experience the historical atmosphere of the city's founding era.

The church is situated in the Lower Town (Basse-Ville). From the city center or the Upper Town, you can reach it by walking down the stairs or taking a shuttle. The walk typically takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on your starting point.
