Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac

Starting in 1912, Benedictine monks from France built a monastery overlooking Lake Memphremagog. The modern Abbey pays tribute to the harmony of natural geometric forms and makes splendid use of multicoloured bricks and granite. Visits are offered at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.: discover the history of the site with a special story, access to the church terrace and a beautiful view and exclusive video on the life of the monks including their testimony. A wide variety of homemade products are available at the store year-round such as cheese, ciders and apple products. Pick-your-own apples in season, retreats and guided tours are offered to discover an exceptional site.

Saint-Michel Cathedral Basilica guided tours

Inaugurated in 1957, the Saint-Michel Basilica-Cathedral proudly overlooks the city of Sherbrooke. Inspired by Gothic architecture, the building is characterized by its majestic arches and pointed windows. The Cathedral Basilica is dedicated to Archangel Michael, patron saint of police officers and soldiers. Many works can be admired, including the magnificent stained-glass windows of the nave and the choir. The visit includes access to the Blessed Marie-Léonie Paradis shrine and her museum. The crypt, which houses the remains of several bishops, priests and laypeople, can also be visited. The archbishop chapel, painted by the Ozias Leduc is closed this summer due to sanitary measures.
