2009 Canada 25-Cent Notre-Dame Du Saguenay
|
More than 300
metres above sea level, the statue of Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay is an
impressive sight. Measuring 10.5 metres in height, the 3-ton statue was
designed in 1881 by Louis Jobin, and has become a regional emblem,
watching over sailors for more than 125 years. Visitors and cruise ships
from all over the globe stop and gather at her feet to sing Ave Maria,
in praise of the patron lady of the fjord. A splendid waterway carved
out of nature, the Saguenay Fjord offers breathtaking scenery with its
imposing towers of rock standing 350 metres high, shaped by the massive
force of glaciers. Unique in North America, the Saguenay Fjord is both a
renowned natural attraction and a 120-km long maritime corridor with
inhabited shores from Saint-Fulgence to Tadoussac.
