About
A bronze statue of Marie de l'Incarnation, who founded the Ursulines of Québec in 1639, the first school for girls in North America. Émile Brunet made it in 1942, showing her looking down at two young pupils, one French and one Indigenous. It stands by the Ursuline monastery on rue Donnacona, a quiet corner of Old Québec close to the Ursulines Museum. Outdoors, free at any time.
