A random road trip adventure – that’s what we did this weekend when we ate lunch in a small village just north of Montreal called Terrebonne, Quebec.
To be honest, it wasn’t totally random. We had to make a stop in Montreal to pick up something, so while we were there, we explored the suburb — which I found out about while researching nearby, pretty cities.
Our first stop – smoked meat sandwiches …. we picked a local, small restaurant called BYGS. Can I just say it was delightful!
And of course, we explored the Ile des Moulins – various mills dating back to as far as the mid 1700s. The area has been designated a historic site but the Government of Quebec. And according to Wikipedia, “Four years following the construction of the flour mill that is currently standing at the Île-des-moulins to this day, the Moulin neuf (New Mill) was built in 1850. In addition, around the same time in 1850, the seigniory office was established.”
One more site we checked out was the church in town – Paroisse Saint Louis, constructed in 1877.
excellent shots as usual, Emily. i like the blue of the skies and white of the snow and clouds.
I wish it was a bit more sunny — the weather was perfect, but still a bit overcast
That’s the kind of day-trip Astrid and I love to take, especially on a Saturday or Sunday, Emily. And we’d stop THERE for the smoked meat. Good choice. 🙂
It was the perfect weekend for a road trip — spring is finally in the air and the sun has been out all weekend … it was nice 🙂 And the food was great!
What a fun lunch, I’m a sucker for fries, and these fries look pretty darn delicious. I bet those smoked meat sandwich were scrumptious. You got some great shots
Oh man, it was so delicious! It was a nice treat to have for our adventure 🙂
the structures are amazing. i was ignorant as to how old the city is. love the bistro feel of the cafe where you ate. nice tour !
I would like to go even more east towards the coast! So much to see there 🙂
Are they going to have another independence referendum in Quebec? 😉
I would hope not! I like us better as a collective 🙂
beautiful photos! Canada has so many great places to see.
Sure does! And I`ve only seen a portion of Quebec….would like to go to the coast!
Another wonderful discovery,very charming!
Very charming, and so much history too!
Those sandwiches are making me hungry.
They were really delicious!
I am jealous. As usual. And that is a gorgeous church. There is nothing like that around here.
It was so grand! I wanted to go inside, but I didnt know if I was allowed to, so I just stayed outside.
That food looks so delicious!
It was so good! No regrets!
yummy 🙂
