Galerie d'Art Royale

Since 1993, the Beauchamp family has had the distinction of being among Québec's most well respected purveyors of new artwork. Their exclusive Place Royale gallery contains well-lit display areas where you'll find acrylics by Algerian Abdullah Khaled and Italian Jose Salvagio, pastels by Josée Lord, and oils by Frenchman James Gaubert and Québecois Aline Brochu. A word of advice, Marc and Claudette Beauchamp did not open this gallery so casual tourists would have a place to buy postcards and run-of-the-mill prints of Old Québec; this gallery boasts world-class original art, most of it ranging from $1000 to $1500. Across the street is the sister gallery, Galerie d'art Bel Art (418-694-1144), also maintained by the Beauchamps.
