Basilique Saint-Anne-de-Beaupre

Of all the churches we visited this was my favourite. The ceilings are covered in mosaics with lots of shiny gold tiles. The floor mosaics are in cooler colours. A woman doing science experiments. There are lots of geometric mosaic patterns on the floors... ...and on the walls. All most inspiring. In one of the chapels there is a coarser mosaic on each roof arch. Not fine work but somehow very appealing by providing a human scale in this massive building.
