QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC — Quebec City‘s Saint-Jean district is known for its small-business shops, so it seems fitting that young Milo Albernhe would choose here to set up his lemonade stand.
Milo sells a cup of his delicious drink for 50 cents, a refreshing treat in a city that has had some wonderfully hot days this summer.
His lemonade stand also demonstrates the pleasant feel of Quebec’s provincial capital. How often do you see a scene like this in a big city?
The Saint-Jean area is in the trendy new part of the city, away from the tourist-filled walls that date to the 17th century. Running along Rue Saint-Jean, the neighbourhood features some excellent shops — including J.A. Moisan, the oldest grocery story in North America, dating to 1871, and a chocolate museum. It’s also the area where the city’s gay community congregates.
Next time you’re in Quebec, take a stroll down this neighbourhood to see what you discover. With any luck, Milo will be there with his warm smile and cold drinks (when school’s out, of course).
