This little bitty vintage medal had been driving me nuts! Anyone have any clues on this one? Thanks so much!

Looks like the Shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre in Beaupre/Quebec, Canada. We were there this summer!

So, how was it? :)

One of my ancestors helped to establish St. Anne de Beaupre after he immigrated to Quebec from France...if we are on the same page. Near the St. Lawrence River?

Yes, overlooking the St. Lawrence and the Ile D'Orleans.

Sorry, Jackie, I missed your question - it was beautiful. The whole area around Beaupre is beautiful. There is the "Canyon Ste. Anne" where you walk over this big gorge over suspension bridges. Not for those afraid of heights! What's really nice about Quebec is that, despite whatever problems the Church might have up there, there are so many towns, streets, etc, named after saints. And most of the churches were not wrecked in the 60's - still have altar rails, altars, etc.
