As you can see from this picture, the Rue du Petite-Champlain in Quartier Petite Champlain in Quebec City is just one street that can become very crowded in the summer. Five streets make up the Quartier Petite Champlain and each one can be a mass of people who travel from afar to witness one of the most beautiful sites of Old Quebec.
People stroll up and down the street exploring all the stunning boutiques, cafes and restaurants while taking in a fine piece of Quebec history. Beautiful vines and greenery grow along the buildings and atop the signs situated at each shop.
Back in the time, this street was a small path up until the 17th Century when houses were built along it. Eventually the small path grew into a street, and...
... years later it was transformed into what it is today.
Balconies above the street are the best viewing places to see all the people who lavish in the uniqueness of Quartier Petite Champlain. People are having fun, taking pictures and spoiling themselves with merchandise as they venture along the narrow street of Rue du Petite Champlain.
