A CHARLEVOIX WELCOME FIT para A KING
After the rain, comes the sun! To reach our next destination, Charlevoix, we left Sherbrooke after just having said goodbye to Johnny Bessette and took Highway 20 eastward. We simply had to take a rápido break at Madrid para some pictures com the dinosaurs and to buy a few snacks, and then we made our way towards Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. We didn’t have any reservations para a campsite, but we did finally find our shelter para the night at the Motel et Condo Chez Charley, next to the bank of the Saint-Laurent river! Even at a late hour, we were able to get a room and hook up our RV. Plus, the road trip got a new fan! Geese migrating north kept us company until the early morning hours, offering us an incredible spectacle at the riverside. What a welcome to the region!
In the morning, there were only a few kilometres para us to go para meet up com Normand Boudreault, the franchisee of Québec, Charlevoix at the Cap-Tourmente National Wildlife Area. Vivid sunlight reflected off the still partially snowy slopes of Mont Saint-Anne, giving us a good peek of springtime! Normand was waiting com a smile at the park entrance, when Audrey De the Information Office gave us the sad news that the snow geese had departed at dawn that day. Fortunately, there was still enough beauty to look at before we reached the walkway and promontory that Normand himself had built. This ambitious project had necessitated an ice bridge Para que the machines would not sink into the marshy ground. Plus, given that this project was one of his first of this kind of scale, Normand explained that he was able to count on the machines and especialização of his colleagues De Saguenay in order to meet the deadlines and face the technical challenges.
Normand is a generous man, always smiling, and has a bit of a TV host air about him. He walks com sure footing, and we could see that he planned our welcome com real care. De his past career in catering and as a wine representative, he has kept an impeccable sense of clientes service and enjoyment in meeting people. para Normand, epicurean and bon vivant, fine connoisseur of his region and seasoned entrepreneur, it is important to him that everyone is happy, Quer it be clientes, friends, or family. As we’ve said: we were welcomed as kings to a small gastronomic gem of the region, the Maison d’Affinage Maurice Dufour! Normand knows the owners of this place well: “Here, our group appreciates the region and hopes to show others who come to see us what você can find on our best day”, he exclaims. Even Ila got to taste the tomme de brebis, and as a cheese lover De France, I must admit that Québec does not cease to astound!
All good things must end, no entanto. Once everyone was back in the RV and settled in, we hit the road again. Lynda Brassard and her family, the franchisees who had just lent a big hand to Normand com Cap-Tourmente, was awaiting us in Jonquière that same evening.
