The Fondation du patrimoine Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal has protected and conserved one of only ten 18th century rural architectural sites in North America, whose history stretches back to the days of the seigneurs. The Île-Perrot landmark is easily accessible from Montréal and Ontario and boasts a remarkable view of the St-Lawrence River. The church dates back to 1774, decorated with excellent examples of wood sculpture; visitors will also have a chance to explore the 1780 presbytery, 1792 cemetery, and Québec’s only terraced cemetery. Take a guided tour or use an audio guide. The site also boasts a theatre in the chapel, a meeting space in the presbytery and church, and often has exhibitions and concerts playing in a church with excellent acoustics. The Chapelle enchantée puts on exciting shows all summer long for children and adults alike.
