Trois-Rivieres & surrounds along St Lawrence River Ontario 19 August 2016



After leaving Montreal we drove north, making sure we didn’t go on the freeway so found many beautiful little villages with beautiful houses and shops. Sheryl was driving and was enjoying driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road for the first time.



We arrived at Trois-Rivières which is the second-oldest city in Quebec, founded in 1634. The main (arguably only) sight in Trois-Rivières is the old city (vieille-ville), concentrated by the river along rue des Ursulines. It's far smaller than those of Montreal or Quebec, but picturesque in a low-key way and was worth the stroll we did through the main area.



We had lunch and gazed over the St Lawrence River and the long span of the Pont Laviolette (bridge towards New Brunswick. Again it was a beautiful day.



We arrived in Quebec city staying at Monte Cristo Hotel….oh the GPS (we call Nancy) is so good.
