Show, microphone, restaurant, getaway, or shopping? Here are some Quebec cooperatives that offer you all that!

See a show at Café culturel de la Chasse-Galerie (Lavaltrie in Lanaudière)

This solidarity cooperative has settled in the beautiful St-Antoine church in Lavaltrie. Serving as both a café and a performance venue, this intimate space is perfect for enjoying performances by Aliocha Schneider, Kaïn, or the Zouz group. Moreover, if you live nearby, Tuesdays are dedicated to cinema screenings.

Book your show or get tickets to place under the tree!

Wandering (and shopping) in Quartier du Petit Champlain (Quebec)

Grabbing a bite at a cooperative café (Various regions)
