This is an opportunity to get your hands on what is probably the only general
store in operation in Gaspésie. There is everything! Hardware, building materials,
appliances, hunting jackets, coffee makers, pots and pans, mattresses, dry
groceries and fresh produce. Dried cod and big Baloney's are classics we get
here!
From the entrance, a bird's eye view of the large room, that is the grocery store,
with its perfectly organized shelves and high ceilings, give the impression of
entering a sacred historic place. On the platform, one takes either the few steps
to the right or to the left of the cash register counter, to go down into the room.
Th...e store ins constituted of three rows of perfectly ordered goods, of open or
closed fridges, freezer. Everything you need is here! At the rear of the grocery
store, a large built-in glass refrigerated cold room host of the beer.
The back of the store there is also the hardware store; plumbing items, tools of
all kinds, key cutting machines and catalogs. The staff is competent and friendly.
The building material and lumber are in separate buildings behind the main store.
At the center, from the grocery store a long wooden staircase and its carved
balustrade lead to the 2nd floor. Going up this staircase, the steps weathered by
time and the softness of its handrail, one has the impression of being part of the
history of this place.
On the 2nd floor, a huge open space room with wooden slat walls and windows,
facing southeast and barachois let's in the unique shimmering and silver light of
Barachois. Potential!
A large shed with a lift is attached to this room.
