The staff were very friendly: digging out an unpriced, untested vintage portable record player for me to try and when it worked giving me a totally fair price on it. I got it home and am totally thrilled with the find. I also heard from the nearby brewpub Barberie that they love this shop and had worked with them to design their t-shirts. Quebec City has some truly heart-warming examples of local business collaboration and this is an awesome one, go say hi!

I'd rather spend my money on something stylish and very useful than a tacky t-shirt or a mug. When I walked by this shop and saw the jacket, I knew I'd found my souvenir. While, I would have been content to just slip the jacket on and check the size, the friendly woman working in the shop insisted on dressing me in front of a mirror. She showed me all of the countless ways I can style the jacket and gave me very thorough instructions on its care. The jacket was made with excellent detail to quality. I cannot wait for the weather to cool in Chicago so that I can start wearing it.

This cozy store in Old Quebec is a one-stop shop for souvineers and all things Quebec. But not Quebec in the kitschy way, think artisan products made by local artists ranging from feather hair pieces and wool socks for men to fur everything and hand painted magnets. The good: even balance of offerings for both males and females. The bad: slightly on the pricey side but you have to keep in mind these are not mass produced items.

CENTRALLY LOCATED DEPT STORE IN OLD QUEBEC…read more During our visit to Quebec City, we dropped by the Simons department store that is centrally located in Old Quebec on Cote de la Fabrique. It is near the Notre Dame Basilica de Quebec. Simons is a very small and quiet department store. Convenient for the tourist who forgot to pack something or now needs warmer clothing for the cold Quebec weather. We were surprised that Simons did not have a small giftware section where we might purchase a unique souvenir of our visit to Old Quebec that would not end up being a dusty tchotchke.
