See Nativity scene travelogue - you can see the outdoor ones for free anytime of year. The other ones are inside the Riviere Eternitie church, in the basement.

romantic bistro

This was a charming spot for a few drinks. We saw a folk-blues artist there and were warmly welcomed. The bartender even knew English. Art from local artists adorned the rustic walls. During the day, it also had a great view of the river and fjord.

Dress Code: No special dress code, but suggest dress nicely (although people smoke there, so it need not be fancy)
