Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church, Quebec City, July 2011
Exterior and interior views of the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Québec, in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood of Quebec City.
A large fire in June 1881 destroyed the Faubourg Saint-Jean and its church that had stood on the grounds in this neighborhood of the Haute-Ville. The new, larger church that was built to replace it was inspired by the Trinité de Paris, while retaining a typically Québécois aspect. It was designated a historical monument by the province in 1990.

Colonne de Juillet, Place de la Bastille in Paris, July 2002
The July Column on the Place de la Bastille in Paris on a rainy July day. The column, built belatedly between 1833 and 1840 on the orders of King Louis-Philippe I, commemorates liberty gained in the July revolution of 1830, on a site once occupied by the notorious Bastille prison.
A 1808 plan by Napoléon to have an elephant-shaped monument erected on the square never advanced beyond a full-scale plaster model being built. The design had called for access to the top to be enabled by a staircase running up the interior of one of the animal's legs.

Clock tower at Old Port in Montreal, June 2011
The clock tower at the Old Port of Montreal, June 2011, including inside during the climb, and the view both to the West and to the East once at the top, at the end of a 192-step climb.
Completed in 1922, the 45 metre-high tower marked the entrance to the city's port and guided incoming ships, and honoured the memory of lost sailors. It also served to indicate the time in an era when wrist watches where not yet in common use.
