Guigues Street and the Basilica

My bed and breakfast is located on Guigues St. I have heard it pronounced geeg and geezh, so I’m not really sure on the pronunciation, but apparently he was a bishop for Ottawa. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online has a pretty good short article about him



This street runs very near the Basilica in Ottawa. Here’s a good outside picture and one of the inside as well. The attention to detail and the ornateness (is that a word?) are amazing!
