So beautiful! When I see these pictures I'm glad we return to Burgundy (France) next week to live in the country between the hills. No mountains though, but hills, forests, and emptiness. We will stay there for about two months, it's such a nice change from our lives in the city in the Netherlands.
Sounds lovely. I've never been to Europe and have seen tons of photos of different parts of France - looks so dreamy. Canada has some beautiful spots too and I must venture out to see them. We even have a island in the St Lawrence that belongs to France - strange eh? Not very many people live there - a few tourists visit but not much to see. It's called Île d'Orléans.
I didn't know France still had an island in Canada. I know that France once had a part of Canada around Quebec and Montreal. They still speak French (or also French) over there isn't it? When I was in my twenties, many many years ago, we made two trips to Canada one on the East Coast and one to the West Coast. We also visited Vancouver Island and Nova Scotia. On the west coach, we went as far as the Hudson Bay with the Polar Bear Express. That were the days!!
Yes they still own the little island. Strange isn't it? I always find it strange that countries govern small islands so far away.
Quebec is still a french province and is still trying to be independent from Canada. Politics. blech.
Because Quebec is a french speaking province, all of Canada has to be bilingual.
I haven't visited our east coast. It's one of those trips I'd like to take one day. I've been out west many times - love it there. That's where my son lives with my grandson. I'll probably be heading out there in the next couple of months again.
