FP update 8/16 Montmorency Falls & Ile d’orleans

We traveled North of Quebec City and found a stunning waterfall (Montmorency Falls) that is higher than Niagara Falls. You can Take a cable car to the top for a breathtaking view but unfortunately, it was not working the day we were there 😕 We walked up close to the base of the Falls. So close we felt the power of the water falling and the roar of the water with all its might. We drove to get to the top of the fall and got to see the waterfall from the top as we walked across the bridge. Very cool 😎

We visited an island east of QC called Ile d’orleans. It was a charming island where we spent the day driving around the entire perimeter. In a nutshell, it is home to wineries and cheese shops. So for this gal, it has all I need 😜 Fromagerie or the cheese shop's 🧀 history on the Island is from 1940 to 1970 there were about 40 families making home-style cheese. There are also quite a few fruit farms. We visited a jam factory where they use only fruit from the island. Tiny strawberry 🍓 was our fav flavor.

On the Island, we also found a naval yard, the heritage site recalls the long tradition of naval construction in this area (Parc maritime de Saint-Laurent). The Chalouperie Godbout, built in 1837, showcases the craftsmanship of the artisans of the past. The maritime park is a trip back in time to the era of wooden boatbuilding.Baca lagi
