text: Seems like all of the Notre Dame Basilicas that we have seen are wonderful.  Is the Basilica Notre-Dame de Montreal as amazing as it's namesake in Paris, France?  No, but it is still magnificient!  \n\nThis is one of the most beautiful churches in Montreal.  They even have a $5 entry fee.  If you attend one of their masses, then you may stay longer after mass to tour the church on your own (for no fee). They will not allow others to enter the church until all the church goers have finished their self-guided tour.  We had to wait about 20 minutes before we were allowed to enter.  They offer guided tours every 20 minutes in either French or English.  We just grabbed one of their brochures and explored on our own.\n\nThe church is a bit dark when you enter, but oh so beautiful!!  Simply stunning!  I took some pictures, but to really appreciate the beauty....you just have to visit here yourself.  Everything from the altar to the pulpit to the organ to the stained glass windows to the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament was amazing.\n\nThe Basilique Notre-Dame de Montreal is a \"Must Visit\" destination in this wonderful city.  The church is located in Old Montreal, and it has an European feel to it.
