Discover activities on the Côte-De-Beaupré

The Cyclorama of Jerusalem is the largest panorama in America. Exhibited in Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré since 1895, this gigantic work of art, created in Munich from 1878 to 1882, measures 14 meters high (45 feet) and 110 meters in circumference (360 feet), covering 1,540 square meters. It creates such a realistic illusion of life and relief that visitors feel as if they are in Jerusalem, reliving the crucifixion. From the observation gallery, you can view the entire city and over 80 kilometers of the surrounding countryside in all four cardinal directions. Unique, breathtaking, and exceptional, this journey to biblical times in the heart of the Holy Land will fascinate you.

Côte-de-Beaupré was one of the first areas to be settled in the St. Lawrence Valley, starting in the early 17th century. From the colony's inception until 1763, the young seigneury welcomed approximately 170 families of French origin. The region boasts numerous heritage remnants, including the 1653 seigniorial mill and Samuel de Champlain's first residence built outside the walls of Quebec City. Another historical remnant is the first convent for the education of girls in rural areas of New France, which was built in 1694 at the instigation of the colony's first bishop, Monseigneur François de Laval.
