Riversea opened its doors in the Quartier Petit Champlain in December 2023, its owner Kelly is inspired by these trips to offer jewelry to make those who wear them shine! They are inspired by natural elements such as ocean waves, exotic floral patterns and traditional Hawaiian symbols. Riversea jewelry is made from 925 silver, an alloy of pure silver and other metals, giving it exceptional durability and luster.
In addition to jewelry, Riversea also offers a range of clothing and accessories that reflect the spirit of travel and adventure. The clothes are designed with high quality fabrics and unique designs. Accessories, on the other hand, perfectly complement Riversea's style, with bags, glasses, hair clips and other items.

When it first opened in the mid-19th century, Théâtre Champlain was primarily a theatre venue. It wasn’t until 1988 that Ulric Breton teamed up with several partners to turn the historic site into a not-for-profit corporation.
Given the site’s cachet and geographic location, it was decided to give the unique site a major facelift and convert it into a music venue. On October 18, 1994, the first Maison de la Chanson francophone was born.
These days, Théâtre Petit Champlain offers a diverse program featuring internationally renowned performers as well as many local names. It has gone from being a theatre to a music hall, and now to a venue for a much more diverse offering, attracting spectators from near and far.

One of the first artisans to set up shop there, Flamand has been passionate about woodcarving since he was a boy. For as long as he can remember, he has drawn inspiration from wood, creating magnificent works using the traditional, direct-cut woodcarving technique.
A vast selection of works
This unique boutique, where the aroma of wood wafts over you when you walk in the door, offers a vast array of high-relief works, all carved by hand. From the tiniest figurine to large pieces sculpted in stained or colored wood, there’s something for everyone looking to decorate their home, give as a gift, or keep as a souvenir of their visit to Québec City.
The artisan's unique pieces are carved directly on site.
Connecting with the artist and his art
The onsite workshop provides a unique opportunity to connect with the artist and his art. This direct relationship with visitors is a source of inspiration for the artist, over and above his passion for woodcarving. With his warm, friendly welcome, it is obvious that he derives from this close human connection the satisfaction of offering something beautiful to people from all over the world. His art travels all over the world, too, and it is not unusual for people to come and order customized works from him. Alain Flamand is also firmly committed to training the next generation, and he passes on his passion by offering in-store training courses to artisans seeking to make woodcarving their trade.
Custom orders
In addition to the vast selection of works on sale, the artist also takes custom orders for individuals and corporate customers. Whether for a personalized house sign or a bulk order of gifts to offer at a Québec-themed convention, Mr. Flamand and his team will be happy to take on your challenge.
The tradition of woodcarving lives on in the Petit Champlain district thanks to Alain Flamand’s talent and passion.
