Rue du Trésor may not be an art walk per say as it is more like a unique outdoor gallery that has been there since the 60’s. Either way Rue du Trésor is a good place to buy some of the latest works from local artists or pick up a creative souvenir.

Tours Voir Quebec is also not exactly an art walk because it is more like a cultural walk where public art will be on display but may not be the main focus.
