A wild guess: Limoges ?

Wrong continent ...

Well I'm out of guesses then.

A big hint: you know Gaspésie ???
Limoges is a nice place... one of my friend lived there and show my picture of the city... wow!!! Lots of 12th century buildings and no pub anywhere ;)

That's Canadian, right? In Quebec? That's as much as I know.

Ok that's enough ;)
You win the contest! You're right with Québec... for the city... I don't think anybody here can answer for that one ;)

Check at your warchest ;)

Kick ass!

Thanks!

i don't care about the coin so much... but i looked at a lot of pictures and maps trying yo narrow it down a lot closer than just Quebec. [there are hundreds of little towns on the map around Gaspesie which i spent hooouuurrrss searching through].

i'm a bit ocd,
and once you presented us the puzzle i was on the case like a rabid pitbull :o)

so if the contest is over that's cool, but...
please you gotta at least tell us which city it was and the place of business where the sign hangs!!! i need closure, please help ;o)

Sorry Tony,
I don't know you where on the contest too...

The answer is Matane, most exactly Matane-Sur-Mer and I have a picture for you... http://baleines.etc.free.fr/photos/stlaurent6.jpg héhé

Each time we went to see my grand mother we pass by this place and my parents never wanted to stop... One time we stop a I bought a splendid seashell, now I understand why my parent always told me that was a tourist trap: the seashell is from Philipines. Anyway... One day I will sell Taiwan souvenirs made in Gaspésie ;)) Sorry for the english...

thanks Jean-Sol i really needed that picture...... believe it or not Matane was the first city i looked through, then worked my way around the peninsula. at least i saw a lot of beatiful sights along the way.

whew, now i can go to bed on time tonight hahaha.

btw, your english is fine no prob. ;o)
