Located in the Quartier du Petit Champlain -- the very pretty commercial district of Québec City in…read morewhat is known as the Vieux-Québec-Cap-Blanc-colline Parlementaire - is the relatively new shop, La Malle Aux Souvenirs. It's philosophy of "perfect gifts in all price ranges" is spot on, at least as far as ALL price ranges. If you've got several C-notes to spend on intricate models of 18th Century sailboats ... or want to spend just a few bucks on a small jug of pure-Canadian Maple Syrup, La Malle Aux Souvenirs is your place. While we English-speakers think of "souvenirs" as meaning kitschy stuff we buy from gift shops on vacation, the French word actually means "memories" ... La Malle Aux Souvenirs is loosely translated as "The Trunk of Memories." It is an apt name, as the things you will buy here are not trinkets, but memories. In other words, high quality. If you want high-quality local condiments, jams, and vinegars, you'll find the best of Délices de l'Ile D'Orléans products on La Malle Aux Souvenirs' shelves. Essentially translated, "Delights of Orleans Island" brings the vibe and flavor of the isle that hugs Quebec City. Savonnerie des Diligences, the Austin, Québec soap-maker with the beautiful scents and dynamic illustrations on their packaging can be found at La Malle Aux Souvenirs in abundance. And maple syrup and other maple products .... boy do they bring it! Not only is it 100% Canadian, but most of it comes from Québec. This includes Coaticook, Québec's famed La Ferme Martinette line of high-quality maple syrups, sugars, and other maple-based products. Also, if you're into glass figurines, especially colorful ones of all kinds of animals, you'll want to make a stop in here. And then the usual souvenir-shop faves like stuffed animals, flags, bags, and clothes emblazoned with "Canada" or "Québec." But since there is such high-quality stuff, most of it I haven't seen in other gift shops throughout Québec City. If you want to make a "Trunk of Memories" from your time in Québec, La Malle Aux Souvenirs is a great place to start! MY BAD FRENCH TRANSLATION OF THE REVIEW: Situé dans le Quartier du Petit Champlain, le très joli quartier commercial de la ville de Québec, dans ce qu'on appelle le Vieux-Québec-Cap-Blanc-colline Parlementaire, est la boutique relativement nouvelle, La Malle Aux Souvenirs. C'est la philosophie de "cadeaux parfaits dans toutes les gammes de prix" est spot sur, au moins aussi loin que toutes les gammes de prix. Si vous avez plusieurs c-notes à dépenser sur des maquettes complexes de voiliers du 18ème siècle ... ou si vous voulez dépenser quelques dollars dans une petite cruche de sirop d'érable canadien pur, La Malle Aux Souvenirs est votre endroit. Alors que nous, anglophones, pensons que "souvenirs" signifie des trucs kitsch que nous achetons dans des boutiques de souvenirs en vacances, le mot français signifie en fait "souvenirs" ... La Malle Aux Souvenirs se traduit par "le tronc des souvenirs"."C'est un nom approprié, car les choses que vous allez acheter ici ne sont pas des babioles, mais des souvenirs. En d'autres termes, de haute qualité. Si vous souhaitez des condiments, confitures et vinaigres locaux de haute qualité, vous trouverez le meilleur des Délices de l'Ile d'Orléans sur les rayons de La Malle Aux Souvenirs. Essentiellement traduit, "délices de L'Île D'Orléans" apporte l'ambiance et la saveur de l'île qui embrasse la ville de Québec. Savonnerie des Diligences, la Savonnerie D'Austin, au Québec, avec ses belles senteurs et ses illustrations dynamiques sur son emballage, se trouve en abondance à la Malle Aux Souvenirs. Le sirop d'érable et d'autres produits de l'érable .... boy, ils l'apportent de! Non seulement est-il 100% Canadien, mais la plus grande partie provient du Québec. Il s'agit notamment de Coaticook, la célèbre gamme de sirops d'érable, de sucres et d'autres produits à base d'érable de la Ferme Martinette, au Québec. Aussi, si vous êtes en verre, figurines, surtout colorés de toutes sortes d'animaux, vous aurez envie de faire un arrêt ici. Et puis, les boutiques de souvenirs habituelles aiment les animaux en peluche, les drapeaux, les sacs et les vêtements ornés de "Canada" ou "Québec"."Mais comme il y a des articles de grande qualité, je n'en ai pas vu la plupart dans les autres boutiques de cadeaux de la ville de Québec. Si vous voulez faire un "coffre de souvenirs" de votre séjour au Québec, La Malle Aux Souvenirs est un excellent point de départ!

Wandering the narrow streets that are laced between the historic buildings makes you feel like you are in the heart of an old European City. The Quartier Petit Champlain is the oldest shopping district in North America and a great place to buy souvenirs for your friends. Here, boutique shops and cozy cafes spill out of restored houses. A fun fact: One of the neighborhood's houses belonged to Louis Jolliet, the French-Canadian explorer credited with discovering the Mississippi River. The stone structures that line the pedestrian-only streets now house a wide variety of shops, services, and restaurants. This is the perfect place to visit for strolling and meandering, and it's a truly lovely area year-round. Québec-cuisine restaurants and bistros, art galleries, and a generous assortment of sweets shops offering everything from handcrafted fudge and nougat to a stylish Crêperie Restroom: Ask anyone and they can point you in the right direction, its 1 level down on the main road level.

For those unaware, this store is an extension of the "du Lys" brand that includes Québec Urbain (see my earlier review), Boutique Expression, Boutique Mouche à feu (jewelry and fashion accessories), Boutique Frada (women's fashions) ... all within, literally within a 250-meter radius of each other. Je te chie pas. This kind of voluminousity lends itself to a lot of good stuff: Hoodies, shirts, socks, stocking caps, baseball caps, sports team gear (defunct-team-heavy, Nordiques and Expos), wallets, jewelry, magnets, toys, shoes, bags, pillows, license plates, mugs, glasses, and a whole bunch more. MANY items have the requisite "Canada" and red maple leaf on them. They also show plenty of Quebecois spirit with an abundance of items with Azure blue & four fleur-de-lis' that make up the Province's famed flag. Souvenirs du Lys, oddly enough, seems to also try to compete with 365-day-a-year Christmas store La Boutique de Noël de Québec ... yes, during my visits in JUNE, they have a section with Christmas stuff. Also check out their totem poles and other indigenous souvenirs ... good stuff. While some prices are eyes-popping-emoji high, if you want to see a lot of high-quality souvenirs, give a visit to Souvenirs du Lys.

La maisonnette et la terrasse sont si mignonnes et pittoresques, un endroit merveilleux pour prendre une collation. J'ai été rejoint par un beau coq - un peu effronté mais poli... J'ai partagé un peu de mon palmier avec lui et il a semblé apprécier. Je ne pense pas que ce soit son premier. Après mon expresso, je suis retourné et j'ai trouvé de merveilleux souvenirs, notamment des t-shirts, des sweats à capuche, des vestes et il y avait tellement d'articles pour la maison que je voulais mais que je savais qu'ils ne rentreraient pas dans ma valise. Pourtant, j'ai aussi acheté un magnifique livre pour enfants "Dorianne et Edgar sauvent Noel à l'île d'Orléans" de l'auteure locale Martine Patoine et c'est ravissant. Je n'avais pas réalisé que la copie m'avait posé un problème et, par chance, j'étais garée juste à côté de l'auteur et son mari et son adorable chien m'en ont donné une toute nouvelle parfaite de leur voiture. La chance! Une boutique délicieuse, une tarte aux pommes et un café merveilleux et plein de bonnes choses à l'intérieur! ***** I heard from a few people that the apple pie here was wonderful, so after lunch I stopped in for an apple pie with caramel sauce and espresso. The playhouse and patio are so cute and quaint, a wonderful place to grab a snack. I was joined by a handsome rooster - a little cheeky but polite... I shared some of my palmier with him and he seemed to appreciate it. I don't think this was his first. After my espresso I went back and found some wonderful souvenirs including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets and there were so many home items that I wanted but knew they wouldn't fit in my suitcase. However, I also bought a wonderful children's book "Dorianne and Edgar save Noel on the Island of Orleans" by local author Martine Patoine and it is delightful. I didn't realize I had a problem with the copy and luckily I was parked right next to the author and her husband and adorable dog gave me a perfect brand new one from their car . How lucky!
