Just outside the walls, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste faubourg lives to the rhythm of rue Saint-Jean: grocers, cafés, bars, vintage shops and staircases plunging down to Saint-Roch.
A 19th-century working-class faubourg, the district was rebuilt after major fires. Its tightly packed houses and staircases make it one of the city’s most picturesque areas.
