shopClosed· opens tomorrow 12pm· Chéticamp, NS · $$ · ★ 4.40 (223 reviews)

An Acadian artisan co-op in Chéticamp, world-renowned for its hooked rugs. The craft was born of necessity here a century ago and turned into a fine art — these aren't doormats, they're framed pieces that hang in galleries.

What to expect

  • Large showroom-museum with hooked rugs from co-op members
  • Artisans often demonstrating in the shop
  • Acadian crafts, books, and gifts beyond the rugs
  • Friendly bilingual staff happy to explain technique and history

Don't miss

  • The Élizabeth LeFort tribute display upstairs (museum-level work)
  • A small hooked piece you can fit in carry-on
  • The basement-level workshop demos in season

Good to know

  • Open most of the year, with reduced hours in winter
  • Cards accepted; shipping arranged for larger pieces
  • Ground-floor entry; upper levels via stairs
  • Parking next to the building

Pair it with

  • A meat pie at Aucoin Bakery a few doors down
  • Restaurant Acadien for lunch or dinner
  • A whale tour from the Chéticamp wharf
