Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs rises high above Wellington Street, as a twin-towered stone church that has anchored this stretch of Verdun since the early 1900s. It was originally designed to have a restrained neoclassical exterior to not totally outshine the other churches in the area. The two towers carry a carillon of eighteen bells cast in France that still ring in ever hour. The inside of the church steals the show with a stunning marble, blue and wood interior with intricate carvings everywhere you look. The exterior is lovely as well, but being right on Wellington Street there is limited room to photograph. This sections of Wellington Street closes to cars throughout most of the summer so you can experiment with capturing the outside without having to worry about cars. The street does get quite busy on weekends, especially during tourist season so you may want to come either early or late in the day to get the clearest views. (Verdun, Quebec, Canada)
