Church decorated with stained glass windows that recall certain episodes in the creation of New France
This church was opened for worship in 1608, the year Quebec was founded. Although rather austere, it is decorated with stained glass windows that recall certain episodes in the creation of New France, including the building of Quebec City and the post on Île Sainte-Croix. A Canadian soldier's helmet, dating from the Second World War, hangs on the wall as a tribute to the Canadians who fell for France. It is said that after his return from Quebec City in 1629, Champlain prayed in this place that Canada, taken by the English, would be returned to France.

L'église Saint-Pierre à Brouage (commune de Hiers-Brouage)
Belle église en plein centre de la ville de Brouage, dont la température rafraîchit agréablement par grosse chaleur ! Exposition très intéressante qui évoque les origines de la chrétienté dans les territoires français de l'Amérique du Nord-Est, de l'arrivée des premiers découvreurs à l'établissement de l’Église en tant qu'institution en Nouvelle France. Des vitraux beaux et originaux car les inscriptions font référence à la France et au Québec.
