Description
Les Voies du Sacré is a tourist itinerary that allows you to discover seven churches in the Portneuf MRC. True witnesses of religious architecture and art, these monuments will enable you to learn more about the region's history. The tour is entirely free, and guides are available for guided tours on request.
It's important to consult the information sheets for each church to find out which are accessible, partially accessible and non-accessible. When a church is listed as not accessible, it's often because the entrance has a threshold.
Only Saint-François-de-Sales church in Neuville has a universally accessible washroom.
The following churches have toilets that are not wheelchair-accessible: Saint-Bernardin-de-Sienne, Saint-Casimir, Saint-Charles-Borromée de Grondines, Saint-Raymond-Nonnat.
The following churches have no toilet facilities: église de Saint-Joseph de Deschambault, église de Sainte-Famille de Cap-Santé.
We invite you to consult the Voies du Sacré website for church opening times and addresses.
