Vacay.ca
The streets of Canada’s neighbourhoods are the arteries of our communities. The shops, people and experiences that occur on them define our societies. When Vacay.ca set out to find the best streets in the country we did it with a sense of exploration and authentic experience in mind. Neither Toronto’s Yonge Street or Montreal’s Rue Saint-Catherine — arguably the two most famous streets in the nation — placed on the list. Both of those thoroughfares have long ago lost out to corporate commerce. A walk along their main stretches isn’t distinct. To find that sense of place that travellers hunger for, you need to go deeper into the nation’s cities. The rewards for doing so is finding out the real Canada and uncovering the regional characteristics that help to distinguish each province and territory from its neighbour.
The streets on the Vacay.ca list are the best places for you to spend your time and dollars when touring the country’s urban centres. While some choices were difficult, top spot turned out to be an easy decision. Rue du Petit-Champlain, lined with shops that belong to an artists’ cooperative, was a clear choice for No. 1 among the Top 20 Streets to Visit in Canada.

Impressionnant quand même; Québec en a trois dans le palmarès des 20 au Canada.
D’ailleurs, dans le cas de la rue du Petit-Champlain, n’est-ce-pas le New York Times qui l’avait considérée, il y a peut-être une dizaine d’années, en tête de son palmarès des meilleures rues sur le continent pour ses emplettes des Fêtes?
