Hello Folks, Just to add a few cents to this thread; I agree wholeheartedly with Andre's descriptions of the Festival of Colour! I live 25 miles south of the Quebec border and our Gatineau Park is spectacular with respect to Fall Colours. I was in the Eastern townships last weekend for a family wedding near Victoriaville. Unlike most of Canada, this area is sectioned off into land parcels which remind me of the U.K. In the summer, the rolling hills of this area are like a patchwork quilt and each field has it's own crop; all differing from one another. It is truly a glorious summer sight as well as a spectacular scenic in the fall. Vive le Canada avec Quebec! Owen P. Evans Osgoode, Ontario. Canada. (near our nation's capital; Ottawa)
