La flambee des couleurs
Eric took us to the Eastern Townships (Les Cantons de l'Est) last week to experience first hand the beautiful colours of la belle province de Quebec.
We went to Mont Orford, about 150 km south from Montreal, close to the USA border and Vermont. We packed our picknick, climbed up the mountain (about 6kms up), had our lunch on the summit and crawled back down.
Afterwards we went to the small and charming town of Magog bordering Lake Memphremagog. Lake Memphremagog hosts a prehistoric creature but like his Scottish cousin Nessie, no one has ever seen the bugger. Even after our visit to the brewpub La Memphre and an icecold pitcher of Rousse Irlandaise still no sign of good ol' Memphre.
Before heading back to Montreal (and me cooking mussels & fries Belgian Style), we briefly visited the abbaye of St. Benoit du Lac. It's renowed for their Gregorian chanting, but no need to say this foodie went for the cheese and the cider of course :-)
It was a beautiful day with lots of autumny colours. Check for yourselves ...
