Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges

Get away from the crowds on Rue Sainte-Catherine by heading down a side-street and onto the parallel Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges. Here, you get a real feel for the authenticity and conviviality of the Saint Pierre quarter. The great little restaurants and numerous independent shops located here fly the flag for French craftsmanship. Start at Place du Parlement and stroll down Rue du Pas-Saint-Georges until Place Fernand Lafargue. If you’re hungry for more shopping, you should continue down Rue Saint-James where you’re treated to more of the same!
