Looks delicious. How does it work, you pick your own and pay by weight?

I'd forgotten about that. Looks great. Thanks for the update.

Thanks! And for the historical image too.

The words on the side of the horse-drawn bus refer to Toronto stops.

^ What is that church in the third shot? Very impressive. Nice pics of T-R all around.

SignalHillHiker · #**4429** Posted **Jun 17, 2015, 2:24 PM**

Aww, thanks Screaming.

Great WPG pics. New building is looking great.

Beautifully composed MTL shots as always. And gorgeous pics, Lace!

Thanks! T-R's center is a gem.
That church is the Notre-Dame-du-Cap sanctuary. It's a world-famous pilgrimage site! Well, at least in the french-speaking roman catholic world

SignalHillHiker · #**4431** Posted **Jun 17, 2015, 2:39 PM**

Shared with friends. One said people in TR don't know anglophone a say the name in French and usually themselves say Three Rivers to us.

Interesting. I, like many Canadian Anglophones over the years, spent a summer in T-R after finishing high school learning French at the Cegep. I loved the city and I spent quite a bit of time checking it out, but I never saw or heard of Notre-Dame-du-Cap.

Now I'm wondering what other cool sights I missed there

Well, maybe it's normal that you missed this site. It's on the Cap-de-la-Madeleine side of the city, on the opposite shore of Saint-Maurice river. It's kind of gritty and, for sure, not the most touristic area of T-R!

However, it's still one of the 3 main pilgrimage sites in Québec, along with Saint-Joseph oratory and Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Those 3 are located on a pilgrimage path (Québec's Compostela). N.-D.-du-Cap's site is known since ~1720, and 250 000 to 400 000 people visit the basilica every year... I don't know, maybe T-R's touristic promotion is downtown oriented

And I love Montreal's bike lanes. Every city should have curb-separated bike lanes along long stretches of downtown streets like Montreal does.

Toronto? Hello? Are you listening? Yeah, I know, Queen's Quay now has some decent bike lanes that were three freakin' years in the making, but what about the rest of downtown?

Back when you were there the Sanctuary wasn't _in_ Trois-Rivières.

(Might seem a minor factor, but for municipal tourism offices, it might have mattered.)
