Boulangerie Chez Marie

The experience if you are on a tour bus may be very different We drove up around noon, no other cars or buses there.

A bakery in a house that half is from 1680 and the other more recent Excellent pastries which is all they serve.

The kids (all 50 of them) stopped here for a quick snack of home-made bread with maple butter spread.

All tour guides – big and small -- bring their visitors here to this little family-run Bakery in an old Stone House that was built in 1652 as a residence, but is now a little shop and cafe. The ovens are over 150 years old, but are still used today for all their baking. It is a little out of the way, but the constant influx of tourists keep them in business.We were happy to sample their huge slice of freshly baked bread with maple butter for only $1.50 each. It was delicious. They also sell pastries, breads, jams, jellies and plenty of other stuff. We ended up buying some homemade jelly and packaged maple cookies to bring home as gifts for family and friends.It is worth a stop at this historical place. You can also see their huge root cellars, a decorative Cross and a teeny tiny Chapel nearby.It was an interesting stop, but we did not regret it.

My husband and I were visiting Quebec with approximately 45 other seniors. This was one of our stops in Quebec and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
