Lonely Planet review for Église St-Jean-Baptiste

Dedicated to St John the Baptist, the patron saint of French Canadians, this church was the hub of working-class Catholic families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Plateau residents weren’t rich but they channeled large sums of money into the colorful interior, especially after two disastrous fires. The altar is white imported marble, the chancel canopy is in pink marble and there are two Casavant organs. The acoustics are splendid and the church plays host to numerous classical concerts throughout the year.
