Chapel and choir of the Augustinians of Hôtel-Dieu

Hôtel-Dieu de Québec is the main place of prayer of the Augustinian sisters. It was rebuilt in 1799 using stones from the former palace of the intendant. A number of well-known artists and artisans have added their personal touch, including Thomas Baillairgé and Antoine Plamondon.
