….from Cornwall to Sherbrooke

On Saturday morning we woke up to light rain. After a good breakfast we packed up the car and headed out for Sherbrooke in Quebec.

As you can see by the photos the rain was pretty steady but when we arrived in Sherbrooke the rain had stopped and we were able to get out of the car and navigate the very steep streets of the downtown.

We found a great art gallery, Beaux des Arts, and explored two floors of art from the 30’s and 40’s by four Montreal artists who introduced abstract art to the Quebec people.

After a short break we climbed up the steep streets and made our way to a quaint bar where we ordered some refreshments and a plate of classic poutine. Sherbrooke is a very French community and you will always be greeted in French first but most people also speak English.
