Murals
This 4-km tour starts in the heart of downtown Sherbrooke just steps away from the Frontenac Street esplanade and Place des Moulins, where the Magog and Saint Francis rivers meet. This is the spot where you will begin to behold the artwork that adorns some of the exterior walls of the city, transforming the downtown area into an art museum.

The Sherbrooke collection can also be found on an international web site, where 2 of the murals are part of the 20 frescoes most often seen on the 1500 murals listed. Here is what is said about it: “The City of Sherbrooke (Quebec, Canada) has made use of its past to create a route of historical frescoes”
