christine,
montreal is like the paris in north america....ppl here speak lots of french....apparently, the notre dame basilica which i visited is to honor the virgin mary....AND there's one church that is almost similar in Paris, in terms of architectural style,also to honor the virgin mary......but according to the tour guide, it's not a replica of any sort, just churches with similar characteristics....btw, this church is built in 1824, quite old oredi but still so beautiful...=)
