Beautiful church, a must see. Interesting piece of trivia: This place was featured in the 2002 Tom Hanks/Leonardo DiCaprio film " Catch Me If You Can". Beyond its Hollywood appearances, it is very noteworthy simply because it is one of the oldest churches in North America. This magnificent structure was constructed between 1687 and 1723. It was destroyed during The Battle of The Plains of Abraham ( "French and Indian War" for Americans, " Seven Years War" for Canadians), and then completely rebuilt. If you're in Old Quebec City, this is a must see. Apprecier/enjoy!

Lots of history here (the oldest church in Canada, for example). Definitely a must-go if you’re in Quebec City. This is also where “Catch me if you can” ends.

A small church at a small square . It's a pity that it was closed when we arrived . We were just like visiting a small town in Europe .

Beautiful bright interior, one of the oldest churches on the north American continent From the outside, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires doesn't seem to impress much but if you take some minutes to enter, sit down in one of the benches and have a look into its interior, you'll be positively surprised. Although you might not be religious (or not even Christian), this small, fine church might attract you thanks to its bright interior, its long history (the altar already mentions 1690 and 1711) and the general white and golden decoration. At the weekend the church may be too crowded, so try best on a weekday. Nevertheless, as many people just walk through for some minutes, you will have the possibility to sit down and admire the church's decoration and feel the ancient spirit! From what I saw, it's unfortunately, not wheelchair accessible.

The building itself was beautiful however it wasn’t open when i visited unfortunately. A sign explaining the history or significance of the church would have been nice, because my thought was « oh, it’s a church, ok » without much information. I hope someone post a clear information about visiting hours! Maybe next time I’m in Quebec I’ll be able to see her.
