Jackpot on the Grande Allée (Quebec City)

Jackpot on the Grande Allée (Quebec City)

Mother Nature cooperates, a programming dream Summer Festival, tourists who come from all over... Really, all bathed in the restaurant of the Grande Allée in Quebec City. Ridership and revenue records in the books for this year.

For the single week of the popular summer festival, restaurants have shown a significant increase in sales.

The terraces have been enlarged and the customers arrived at noon and never released.

The previous summer, as part of the 400th of the City, the sales were good, but the temperature was hurt.

Owners have not seen this in downtown Quebec in 15 years.
