Centre Marie de l'Incarnation

Small Ursuline museum and chapel telling the story of Marie de l'Incarnation and early Quebec.

Centre Marie de l'Incarnation is a quiet Ursuline site devoted to the Tours nun who sailed to Quebec in 1639 and helped found the first Catholic school in North America. The museum is small, but the story gives Tours an unexpected link with early French Canada.

The centre includes a 15th-century room and an adjacent chapel, so it works best as a short reflective stop rather than a full museum visit.
