Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Château Dufresne in montreal

Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes : on any trip to montreal one should not miss this as this is one of the shining religious sites. Napoleon Bourassa was built in 1876 and its artwork is to be found throughoutthis tiny gem sitting in the middle of the latin quarter and the university of quebec at montreal. A rich weave from floor to ornate ceiling is created by a mixture of Romanesque and Byzantine styles which allows visitors to break away from the traffic and hullabaloo of the city. In this busy little church there is a full list of parish/ religious activities takes place. It daily starts at 6:45 in the morning. For staying in montreal in Canada select hotels in montreal.
Château Dufresne : Marius Dufresne and Jules Renard's lavish beaux-arts style building in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, was supposed to spur the development of the area. Its enormous cost and economic downturn instead left it largely derelict, and it fell into disrepair until its restoration in the mid-1970s. It now plays host to various art exhibitions: recent events have included Guido Nincheri, A North-American Retrospective and Diane Dufresne—Paintings. The extravagant décor and period furnishings are available for viewing year-round.
