 Quartier Petit Champlain
Shopping District by jamiesno
For all the details I just provided their web site but the ambiance of the place is amazing especially during the Carnaval when all the merchants share in the celebration with their own ice sculptures in front of their businesses.
There were so many options here of what to buy its hard to recommend just one. Some ideas that come to mind are chocolate from Madam Gigi's, local art, exquisite gifts, local wood carvings, french fashion clothing and the list just goes on.
I bought several things myself but just exploring the district was most fun for me. It puts the mall culture to shame!! Leave a Comment

 Hand crafted drums at la
Chasse Galerie by jamiesno
I was lured in by a coat that was hanging outside and inside it was a beautiful store with lots of fashionable clothing and crafts from the native people of the Quebec Province.
I purchased a drum as you can see in the picture.
I think you will enjoy this store! Leave a Comment

 Le Petite Cabane de Sucre de
Quebec,Quebec City. by Greggor58, 1 more photos
I think what caught me eye was a stand tat the proprietor had set up containing what looked like snow....and there were dollops of Maple Taffy poured onto the snow ready to be eaten...
I decided that this was to be desert and I soon was snacking on this little treat!!
When I finished the first little taste... ( ok so maybe it wasn't so little ) I decided on a second helping...and soon I was talking with the man...his name is Mario...and I told him about how it was prepared in my family when I was a child..and how my father would collect snow in any container we could find...often an old wash basin....and the Winter ritual would begin...
The Maple syrup would be boiled in a pot until it reached a certain temperature and then lightly poured onto the snow in the containers....we would use forks to roll it up into a ball and we would eat it from the fork...
This little exercise is not strictly a Quebecoise tradition but I believe the origins go back to The Indigenous Peoples of Canada.
Certainly there is a long history of Quebec's production and consumption of Maple Syrup but in general it is I would think relative to Eastern Canada...
Any Maple products you would like...My preference is the syrup for the occasional breakfast of pancakes or as Ive just described...the maple Taffy on snow... : O ]
Mario told me that all of the products here originate in a forest that he maintains and taps....and that his forest is 40,000 trees large!!
For more information about the Maple industry I would take a peek at the Web site his store maintains...the link is provided here just below!
The second picture shows you the servings of Maple Taffy.. : O ]
Generally Maple products are not cheap...and my little treats cost me I think I paid $ 5.00 for two servings...

 Shopping for Mocassins? by mydreamquestLeave a Comment

 Quartier Petit Champlain by mydreamquest
There are a lot of interesting shops for souvenoirs, wine, cheese, Indian items (such as mocassins, and scarfs), fashionable clothing stores, and lots of restaurants.
I recall shopping in one store when I heard Sarah McClachlan's "I love you." That's how I feel about Quebec City.
See above.
Have at least $CAN200-300 and splurge. Leave a Comment
