Appealing to the tourist trade more than local interests, this wide boulevard extending to the quay will fulfil everyone's desire for Swiss souvenirs. The numerous shops have a good range of traditional Swiss crafts and mementoes, both tasteful and tacky. From cuckoo clocks to chocolate confections, lacy girls' dresses to folk style blouses, delicate china to porcelain cows, the Rue du Mont-Blanc offers a mountainous selection of goods. Swiss Tradition, 15 Mont-Blanc, NIC SA 5, Affolter Kurt et Eric Noll, Devillon and La Civette are gift shops that prove especially popular with visitors. With the Rue du Mont-Blanc so close to the water, this attractive district always has a fresh, pleasant air and there are many tempting cafes and bistros to cure flagging energy after an intensive shopping expedition. With the sound of lapping water nearby and numerous pretty cafés, many shoppers are happy to devote the entire day to this area.
