Esta pequeña tienda en el Quartier Petit Champlain de Quebec está dedicada a exponer las maravillosas creaciones del escultor local Alain Flamand. Flamand, famoso por sus intrincados tallados en madera, lleva más de 30 años enamorando clientes con sus figuras de madera bellamente esculpidas. Cada pieza, tallada a mano por el mismo Alain Flamand, recibió inspiración de varias fuentes: el folclore, la naturaleza, la vida silvestre, los humanos y muchas más, pero Quebec es la temática común que se hace presente en todas las esculturas.
