Je me souviens (in English pronounce /ʒə mə suːˈvjɛn/) is the official motto of the Province of Quebec, in Canada. The translation of the French phrase in English is "I remember". The motto is displayed on the coat of arms of Quebec, and on automobile licence plates issued by the province (where it replaced La Belle Province, meaning "The Beautiful Province"). Both the coat of arms and the motto were fashioned by the French Canadian architect Eugène-Étienne Taché during his career as the Assistant Commissioner for Crown lands for Quebec.
