L’Oratoire Saint-Joseph
Canada’s largest church with one of the largest domes in the world. Finished in 1967, this was the church of Brother André Bessette, a miracle worker said to have had the ability to heal what ailed pilgrims who climbed its 283 steps. Brother André’s heart is on display in the church’s museum, as are hundreds of discarded canes. Apart from this oratory’s stature, the views to take in from its highest steps are remarkable.
Montréal Botanical Gardens
An urban oasis opening in 1931, the Jardin botanique de Montréal has more than 22000 species of plants, 10 exhibition greenhouses and some 20 thematic gardens.
