Climate and nature are gentler here than anywhere else in Québec. The area has an abundance of lakes nestling between protective hills, of calm, blue rivers and of valleys home to hamlets each distinctive in its own right. A number of villages have a special charm reminiscent of their New England cousins. Laughter is in the air in the region’s towns and one readily senses just how pleasant life is here. ---Many Township houses coquettishly adorn themselves entirely in yellow, pink, green or blue, spreading sumptuous architectural counterpanes over the villages, where people are as warm and colourful as the summer that concinues well into fall. ---At dawn, mist often creates ephemeral lakes above the valleys, turning the hilltops into fanciful islands in a décor of but brief duration. To the south, the Appalachians leave their mark on the landscape, draping themselves in dark blue at dusk before thrusting like waves into the American night. Savour the charm of Richard Séguin’s evocative, poetic description of his region, and let the photographs of horizon-walking Stéphane Lemire and the captions of Gilles Dallaire work their magic on you."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)---.
