At the door of this home, Santa Claus keeps a watchful eye over his elves, who are busy decorating a tree. One of them found a sled and is testing the slope of the entrance arch.

For those still searching for some Christmas magic, visit the Trait-Carré sector of Charlesbourg, where Santa’s elves are busy decorating homes or playing tricks. During the day, the elves are easy to spot, while in the evening, Christmas lights add warmth and charm to this neighbourhood.
