First urban route of a series of 4 or 162 (you never know what life holds for us!)\u00a0 We invite you to visit the city through the eyes of our dedicated team members whom suggest checking out their favorite hot spots.\u00a0\u00a0 All very different from each other but united by the love of Art … of living, they will take you where no tour guides have yet set foot. \u00a0Starting with Camille, one of our receptionists at the C3 Hotel<\/strong> for more than a year now, she is a university student studying to teach high school students French that we\u2019ll explore the Montcalm and Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood.<\/p>\n Native of Terrebonne, Camille moved to Quebec 7 years ago to continue her studies. First living in Sainte-Foy, she then moved to the Montcalm area – Arts District of Quebec – before settling recently in the Saint-Jean Baptiste neighborhood. She talks about Quebec with such enthusiasm and pride you’d think she just arrived and discovered a whole new universe with much gusto! \u00a0\u00a0She promises to take us into small but cozy and distinct shops mostly frequented by the “locals”.<\/p>\n B\u00fcgel, bagels factory<\/strong>, 164 Cr\u00e9mazie West St. (7-minute walk from the hotel) Founded in1987, this small craft factory was able, during its 29 years of existence to combine consistency and quality making it a must for the residents in the Montcalm area. As they say: “If our bagel is fashionable, it\u2019s not because it follows her, but because its soul doesn\u2019t change and that its father never wanted to push it further than what he believed it is capable. Small is beautiful!” Camille especially likes <\/span>Le Poussin v\u00e9g\u00e9tarien au ch\u00e8vre and says that their homemade v\u00e9g\u00e9p\u00e2t\u00e9 is delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n Bouquinerie 4 seasons<\/strong>, 958 Cartier Avenue (just steps from B\u00fcgel, also a 7-minute walk from the hotel!) According to Camille\u2019s words, the owner of the book store carefully selects the used books and then files and places them on the shelves with as much precision. Not only delighted by the selection of books found there, she loves these kind of convenience store where the owner tells you that you can come back later in the day when you do not have the exact change!\u00a0 She imagines visiting Quebec for the first time in the fall, getting a book then reading it all wrapped in a blanket on the Plains of Abraham or up on the Miles roof top terrace of the C3!<\/span><\/p>\n Boutique Jupon Press\u00e9, <\/strong>790 Saint-Jean St. (15-minute walk from the hotel) Here we leave the Montcalm area to visit the Faubourg! Saint-Jean Street, a famous commercial street in the Upper Town of Quebec, the section between Salaberry and Honor\u00e9-Mercier is more \u00ab\u00a0local\u00a0\u00bb and becomes a tourist strand as of Place D’Youville. \u00a0The Jupon Press\u00e9 is located in the first part. \u00a0A real find for unique pieces in Quebec City, the shop is full of treasures, jewelry and clothes lovingly selected by the two owners, Josiane and Sylvie! \u00a0According to Camille, its the perfect place to find a souvenir to take home without falling into the clich\u00e9 \u00abCool as a Moose.\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n La Buvette Scott, 821<\/strong> Scott Street (perpendicular to Saint-Jean St. also 15-minute walk from the hotel) If you visit their Facebook page, their slogan says “Good wines, great beers, beautiful aerial bites, lightning vinyl\u2019s.”\u00a0 No more was needed for La Buvette to win the prize for the perfect destination for cocktails says Camille. \u00a0La Buvette also offers a nice variety of ciders and the owners Dave Dominic- Isabelle and Pierre- Luc are known for their delicious sense of humor!\u00a0This is the happy hour that ends this first urban route. Do not hesitate to ask Camille when visiting the C3 Hotel! Or any member of our fabulous team if you wish to learn more about their favorite spots.
