Old Montreal, Montreal: 16 reviews and 15 photos
<b>Rue St-Amable</b> (marketed to tourists as Rue des Artistes) is a very narrow little alley off the Place Jacques-Cartier. While it may be picturesque and quaint to some, I found it stuffy and the art overpriced- not only that, but you could find the same art cheaper in stores along rue St-Paul. Some of the paintings were even of Quebec City and...Toronto! Why anyone would buy a painting of Toronto in Montreal is beyond me. I bought a nice little oil of the Vieux-Port, only because I collect little paintings of cities for my wall. In any case, the street is claustrophobia central and should be avoided. They should put a picture of this place in the dictionary next to the definition of tourist trap!
