About Parliament Building (Hôtel du Parlement)
The Hôtel du Parlement, seat of the National Assembly of Quebec, stands outside the walls at the start of Grande Allée. It was built between 1877 and 1886 in the Second Empire style, inspired by the Louvre in Paris, with a central tower and gardens in front.
The façade contains niches with bronze statues of explorers, clergy, military figures and politicians who shaped Quebec’s history, such as Champlain, Montcalm and Wolfe. In front stands the Tourny fountain, brought from Bordeaux, France.
Guided tours pass through the Blue Room and the Red Room, where deputies meet, with paintings and stained glass. The guided tour is free; you must pass a security check and, during legislative sessions, some areas may be closed.
