What's to See in The Eastern Townships (Part 1 of 2)

We had a short stay in The Eastern Townships, visiting four towns. Magog is where bed and breakfasts, summer homes, and cottages were aplenty. We decided to spend two nights here. The internet led us to a beautiful B&B called La Maison Verte in rue Merry, a short five-minute walk to downtown area. It is run by a lovely couple, who turned their beautiful sanctuary to a guest house. When we went there, there were two other couples spending the night. The hosts were attentive and kind. They were never intrusive. We were even surprised to always come home to a made up room.

I think they have four rooms in total. Each had a television & fridge (and a sink, because *pandemic*). You could see the beauty of each room, sparing no detail untouched.  

The breakfast was also another level. It was yummy and filling. They made the food themselves, even the bread. This alone takes the cake!

From Magog, we headed to Bleu Lavande. After a scenic drive (with several oohs and ahhs), we arrived in the afternoon and thankfully there were less tourists making physical distancing possible. We came a few weeks after their harvest so there's less lavander to see but the beautiful view more than makes up for it. 

 

Jan and I had a picnic to enjoy the magnificent view right in front of our eyes.

Konnichiwa! :)


I was in hydrangeas-heaven!

Imagine yourself here- warm afternoon sun with cool breeze and nature all around you!
