Resembling a scene from a Christmas card, the streets of the neighbourhood have been compared to Whoville, from Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

With snow-covered cobblestone streets, a huge Christmas tree and old fashioned buildings, it's no wonder people are raving about the Quartier online – with TripAdvisor reviewers describing it as "magical at Christmas".

Visitors can get a free photo with Santa Claus or enjoy a hot chocolate or maple syrup snow candy at the shops and cafes that line the streets.

As the pictures show, this is one location you'll definitely want to add to your Christmas bucket list.
