Église de Notre-Dame-du-Portage - Québec - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

L’église de Notre-Dame-du-Portage a été construite entre 1859 et 1863 grâce aux efforts et aux pierres fournis par les paroissiens. L’église s’enorgueillit d’un chemin de croix et d’une toile de Saint-Hilaire. La chapelle anglicane qui se trouvait à l’est de l’église est aujourd’hui disparue. De grandes auberges, des villas, des havres de repos subsistent partout et vivent encore au goût des villégiateurs. Un ruisseau (1,5 km à l’est de l’église) qui dévale la falaise tombe au milieu du monde de rêve, construit ici en miniature par un artisan : moulin à vent nostalgique, pont, maison, espaces fleuris. Ce monde a remplacé la boutique (en face) du charpentier-tourneur Nadeau dont les murs blanchis égalent en propreté les chalets des citadins.

Translated from the above noted text:

The Church of Notre-Dame-du-Portage was built between 1859 and 1863 thanks to the efforts and stones provided by the parishioners. The church is proud of a Stations of the Cross and a canvas of Saint-Hilaire. The Anglican chapel which stood to the east of the church has now disappeared. Large inns, villas, havens of rest remain everywhere and still live to the taste of vacationers. A stream (1.5 km east of the church) running down the cliff falls into the middle of the dream world, built here in miniature by a craftsman: nostalgic windmill, bridge, house, flower-filled spaces. This world has replaced the shop (opposite) of the carpenter-turner Nadeau, whose whitewashed walls are cleanly equal to the chalets of the townspeople.
