17 July 2023 This moment is all that exists, this scene where Marie and I are talking while enjoying our coffee. —— Serge Bouchard
Rue de la Reine in Gaspe´, the Bre`che a` Manon in Grande-Rivie`re, the foot of a mountain in the Upper Gaspe´, near Perce´ Rock or a beach in Carleton-sur-Mer, all are places where you’ll run into people sharing smiles, secrets and thoughts, cup of coffee in hand. So many “how are yous”, chats and chuckles also season the atmosphere at cafe´s in the Gaspe´, as does the aroma of freshly ground beans. “It’s maybe a bit of magic, the coffee,” says Jacques Legault, owner of the Bru^lerie du Cafe´ des Artistes.
