Description

The legislative branch of Québec, the Assemblée Nationale, is housed within the Parliament Building. Tours of its chambers are offered, but before entering there are a couple of noteworthy sights. First, take in the grand fountain -- built as a tribute to the first Canadians, the Amerindians. Next, glance up to the top of the building and see if the gold crown is lit -- a sign that Parliament is in session. Along the façade rest 22 bronze statues of important French Canadians past.
