A Modern Oasis of Wellness and Peace
At the heart of Old Québec City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where history breathes life into cobblestone streets and ancient architecture, Le Monastère des Augustines stands as a haven of peace, culture, and wellness. Our journey began almost four centuries ago when the Augustinian Sisters laid the foundations of the Canadian healthcare system with a holistic approach to health that still resonates today.
Sensitively restored and thoughtfully redesigned, Le Monastère is now a secular destination. Our commitment is to offer visitors from all cultures and spiritual backgrounds a unique journey toward wellness while directly connecting with the remarkable heritage of the Augustinian Sisters.
