Avenue Cartier

Point of interest

Known for its iconic hanging lampshades featuring reproductions of artworks from the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, this landmark commercial street in the Montcalm neighbourhood stands out for its refined yet welcoming atmosphere, where culture and everyday life blend naturally.

The street is lined with local cafés, restaurants, independent boutiques, and neighbourhood shops that give the area its elegant and lively character. During the summer months, patios add to the vibrant energy of the district and make it the perfect place to soak in the neighbourhood’s rhythm.

Cultural, vibrant, and easy to explore on foot, it perfectly reflects the Montcalm lifestyle, just steps from the Plains of Abraham and many of Québec City’s major cultural institutions.
