Nous ne quittons pas tout de suite le camping du mont M\u00e9gantic, de nombreux chemins proposent des balades pour tous les niveaux.<\/strong>
S\u00e9b est meilleur marcheur que nous, il part de son c\u00f4t\u00e9, nous du n\u00f4tre pour une marche plaisante au long d\u2019un ruisseau.<\/strong>
We don’t leave the Mont M\u00e9gantic campsite right away, there are many paths offering walks for all levels.<\/span><\/strong>
Seb is a better walker than us, he goes on his side, we go on ours for a pleasant walk along a stream.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Quand Paul se trouvait \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital, incapable de lire, S\u00e9b a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 lui lire \u00ab tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne \u00bb de l\u2019\u00e9crivain qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois Jacques Poulin. \u00c0 cause de ce livre \u00e9mouvant, de cet auteur sensible, le r\u00eave de suivre cette tourn\u00e9e a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 germer, pour aboutir \u00e0 ce mois que nous passons au Qu\u00e9bec. Il s\u2019agissait de prouver qu\u2019on pouvait de nouveau se lancer dans une telle aventure, et de marcher dans les pas du Chauffeur, principal personnage de \u00ab tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne \u00bb. <\/strong>
When Paul was in the hospital, unable to read, Seb began reading him \u00ab Tourn\u00e9e d\u2019Automne \u00bb by Quebec writer Jacques Poulin. Because of this moving book and this sensitive author, the dream of following this tour (\u00ab tourn\u00e9e \u00bb) began to germinate, leading to this month that we are spending in Quebec. It was about proving that we could once again embark on such an adventure, and to follow in the footsteps of the Driver, the main character of \u00ab Tourn\u00e9e d\u2019Automne \u00bb.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Jacques Poulin est n\u00e9 \u00e0 St-G\u00e9d\u00e9on-de-Beauce : on y trouve le dome sous lequel le pape a c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 une messe, une \u00e9glise gigantesque comme il y en a beaucoup, une carte de la r\u00e9gion Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches mais rien sur notre \u00e9crivain favori.<\/strong>
Jacques Poulin was born in St-G\u00e9d\u00e9on-de-Beauce: there you will find the dome under which the pope celebrated mass, a gigantic church like many others, a map of the Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches region but nothing about our favourite writer.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Plus de petit d\u00e9jeuner pr\u00e9par\u00e9 par S\u00e9b, nous allons au Croquembouche nous empiffrer de viennoiseries\u2026 Puis nous partons en exp\u00e9dition, nous verrons les gr\u00e9vistes chaque jour si nous passons par l\u00e0.

Nous trouvons tous les renseignements demand\u00e9s, ainsi qu\u2019une carte sur papier qui a l\u2019avantage sur l\u2019iPad de ne jamais s\u2019\u00e9teindre ni tourner sans qu\u2019on le lui demande\u2026 <\/strong>
No more breakfast prepared by Seb, we go to Croquembouche to gorge ourselves on pastries\u2026 Then we leave on an expedition, we will see the strikers every day if we pass by there. We go to the Tourist Office where the employee advises us to avoid the port for a few more hours, because of the departure of a cruise ship and its eight thousand passengers. We find all the information requested, as well as a paper map which has the advantage over the iPad of never turning off or turning without being asked\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Au retour, tout pr\u00e8s de notre logement, trois musiciens se produisent au carrefour. Ils distribuent un petit prospectus, or leur musique nous pla\u00eet et le concert est \u00e0 deux pas \u00e0 vingt heures. Il s\u2019agit de Jake Vaadeland & the Surgeon River Boys : nous passons une excellente soir\u00e9e. M\u00eame pas vingt personnes dans le public, quel dommage ! <\/strong>
Le groupe est originaire du Saskatchewan. <\/strong>
On the way back, very close to our accommodation, three musicians are performing at the crossroads. They are handing out a small leaflet, but we like their music and the concert is just around the corner at eight o’clock. It is Jake Vaadeland & the Surgeon River Boys: we have a great evening. Not even twenty people in the audience, what a shame!<\/span><\/strong>
The group is from Saskatchewan.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

On m\u2019a dit que l\u2019\u00e9tat du Canada paye des avocats pour r\u00e9duire l\u2019usage du fran\u00e7ais au Qu\u00e9bec, pays o\u00f9 l\u2019usage de cette langue est un sujet fort sensible. Sujet politique aussi\u00a0: les francophiles rappellent que le Qu\u00e9bec pourrait \u00eatre ind\u00e9pendant. <\/strong>
I was told that the Canadian government is paying lawyers to reduce the use of French in Quebec, a country where the use of this language is a very sensitive subject. It is also a political subject: Francophiles are reminding us that Quebec could be independent.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

C\u2019est amusant d\u2019\u00e9voquer la langue fran\u00e7ais apr\u00e8s une soir\u00e9e toute en anglais\u00a0: ce groupe, Jake Vaadeland & the Surgeon River Boys, est excellent, et ils viennent d\u2019une r\u00e9gion anglophone. Rien \u00e0 redire. Nous regrettons un peu de n\u2019avoir pas assist\u00e9 \u00e0 des concerts en fran\u00e7ais, mais un mois, \u00e7a passe tellement vite, alors qu\u2019il y a tant \u00e0 faire\u00a0!<\/strong>
It\u2019s funny to talk about the French language after an evening all in English: this band, Jake Vaadeland & the Surgeon River Boys, is excellent, and they come from an English-speaking region. No complaints. We regret a little not having attended concerts in French, but a month goes by so quickly, when there is so much to do!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
