I'll start off today with an omission from yesterday's post and that's the amazing dinner we had last night, featuring this salmon souffle. Jenny continued to outdo herself this morning for breakfast with a berry souffle. The dining is certainly not shabby at this establishment.
Today, our hosts, Craig Millar and Jenny Pearson took us on the la grande tour of the area. Their B&B is a short one minute drive from the north ski slopes of Tremblant.
Then, working our way around to the south slopes, we passed the relatively new casino before stopping for a stroll in the Intrawest pedestrian village.
This place may be more crowded in the summer than the winter with families looking to do the zip line, or slide down the luge course or just walk the village and trails, not to mention water activities on the lake.
We then drove to the original Tremblant village for lunch at the hotel and encountered these guys gasing up.
We then rounded off the circuit with a drive through Centre Ville - St. Jovite.
Back at Plumes et Glisse we retired to our room on the second floor, one of three guest rooms, for a brief recess. The house is nicely laid out with a guest common area just inside the front door and the kitchen where the magic happens, off to the right.
Because they are in the woods, they also have lots of song birds and these little guys.
They really do have a great location and their B&B is doing good business, so la vie est belle!
So as the afternoon wore on, a single 35 yr. old man from Lille in France showed up as Jenny and Craig's client for the night. As Jerome joined us now, we got the best work out with our French that we've had on this trip and this on our last night in Quebec. Jerome spoke very little English - actually only a few words - so most conversations converted into French to include him. Boy, you quickly realize how many holes there are in your base of vocabulary! Thank goodness for Google Translate! Anyway, Craig was on the BarBe tonight and low and behold what should appear at the end of their driveway, but this guy.
Jerome was pretty excited, as were we all, but a deer showing up during dinner in France is pretty unusual. He was loving his new experiences with flora and fauna in Canada, like chipmunks that don't exist in France. We had fun during another exceptional dinner by the host discussing a miriade of topics in hackneyed French. Heh, we tried! Anyway, the weather has gone back to summer and we're heading south to Ontario.
