This charming little alley is called Rue du Trésor—or “Treasure Street.” It was given this name because it once led to the treasury on Saint-Louis Street, where colonists would exchange currency and pay their dues. In the 1960s, two artists started displaying their work here. Others soon joined in, and today, Rue du Trésor has become a vibrant open-air art gallery. Local artists showcase their creations along the walls, and you’ll often find portraitists and caricaturists at work. It’s a great place to do a bit of magasinage - the local word for shopping- and take home some unique Canadian artwork. You may even strike up a friendly chat with the locals while you're at it.
