House in Sherbrooke, Canada

We are a French-Canadian family who offers you a wonderful journey to the history of France in America and the Loyalists in Canada.  Here is your opportunity to discover where French and English-speaking people live together in the Appalachian landscape. The area is quiet and we have a park on the other side of the street where children can play. We also have four pinball machines, so you can play all-you-want-for-free. We are close to the American border (30 minutes) by car, to Montréal (1 h 30), to Quebec City (2 h). We are close to national parks (Mont Orford, Frontenac, Mégantic) for the nature lovers.

Nous habitons dans un coin de pays du Canada (Québec, Cantons-de-l'Est) où l'histoire française se lie à celle de la colonisation anglaise et de l'exil des Loyalistes américains. Notre famille sera heureuse de partager son domicile et sa voiture afin de vous permettre de découvrir notre beau coin de pays. Le paysage qui nous entoure est celui d'une nature généreuse, valloneuse où les forêts et les rivières côtoient les lacs et les monts. Nous avons quatre machines à boule (pinball) fonctionnelles qui offrent un bon divertissement à tous les groupes d'âge. À proximité se trouvent la frontière américaine (30 minutes), la métropole de Montréal (1h30), la capitale du Québec (Québec) (2h) et de nombreux parcs nationaux (Mont Orford, Frontenac et Mégantic) pour les amoureux de la nature vierge.

Notre région a été identifiée comme étant l’un des 52 lieux à voir selon le New York Times: https://www.ledevoir.com/societe/777611/les-cantons-de-l-est-au-palmares-des-destinations-2023-du-new-york-times
