| | Quebec City : Shopping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | In the Upper Town, wander along rue St-Jean, both within and outside the city walls, and on rue Garneau and Côte de la Fabrique, which branch off the east end of St-Jean. |
 | | Côte de la Montagne, which leads from the Upper Town to the Lower Town as an alternative to the funicular, has a few stores with more tourist-geared items and some crafts and folk art. |
 | | The Lower Town itself, particularly the Quartier du Petit-Champlain, just off place Royale and encompassing rue du Petit-Champlain, boulevard Champlain, and rue Sous-le-Fort (opposite the funicular entrance), offers many possibilities -- clothing, souvenirs, gifts, household items, collectibles -- and is avoiding (so far) the trashiness that often afflicts heavily touristed areas. |
