Between 1870 and 1900 the second phase of decoration (actual decoration) was the work of Curé Benjamin-Victor Rousselot and Victor Bourgeau Quebec's most active architect of that era. While travelling in France Curé Rousselot had been deeply impressed by the style and symbolism of The Saint-Chapelle in Paris which he proposed as a source of inspiration for Bourgeau . The blue and gold color chosen, the gilded leaves in the vaulting and on the columns are specially reminiscent of the Saint-Chapelle. The poly- chrome decoration consists entirely of sculpted wood.
