Je ne savais pas comment vous faire une pr\u00e9sentation br\u00e8ve mais suffisante de Jacques Poulin, je remercie Paul d\u2019\u00eatre venu \u00e0 la rescousse :<\/strong>
\u00ab on peut attraper Jacques Poulin par ses passions : le hockey sur glace, Hemingway, le saint Laurent, une cohorte de petits chats ou encore les joies de l\u2019\u00e9criture et de la lecture\u2026 \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>

Cet \u00e9crivain (Yvanne, tu le connais ?) ignore qu\u2019il a une part dans la gu\u00e9rison de Paul. Un lien a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se tisser autour de \u00ab la tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne \u00bb. <\/strong>
Il y a un peu plus d\u2019un an c\u2019est sur les pas de Mario Rigoni Stern que nous avons march\u00e9, c\u2019\u00e9tait une belle et forte motivation ! Maintenant, comme indice de bonne sant\u00e9 retrouv\u00e9e, il nous faut faire le saut par dessus la grande flaque, retrouver ce pays pour la quatri\u00e8me fois, retrouver S\u00e9b, et continuer le jeu commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital. Ouvrons le livre\u2026<\/strong>
This writer (Yvanne, do you know him?) is unaware that he has a part in Paul’s recovery. A link has begun to be woven around \u00ab la tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne \u00bb.<\/span><\/strong>
A little over a year ago, we walked in the footsteps of Mario Rigoni Stern, it was a beautiful and strong motivation! Now, as an indication of good health regained, we must jump over the big puddle, find this country for the fourth time, find Seb, and continue the game started at the hospital. Let’s open the book…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Le Chauffeur organise sa tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne : il s\u2019agit de conduire le bibliobus jusque dans les coins les plus recul\u00e9s du pays pour un pr\u00eat gratuit de livres.<\/strong>
Cet homme est solitaire, un peu neurast\u00e9nique. Il se sent vieux, il est plein de regrets.<\/strong>
Le r\u00e9cit commence par une musique intrigante : se laissant guider par elle, le Chauffeur va rencontrer et se lier d\u2019amiti\u00e9 avec une troupe de fanfare et de saltimbanques fran\u00e7ais qui donne des spectacles dans la rue.<\/strong>
Il leur \u00ab proposa une balade sur les murs du Vieux-Qu\u00e9bec. \u00bb<\/em> <\/strong>
Le Chauffeur (The Driver) is organizing his fall tour, la tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne: he is driving the bookmobile to the most remote corners of the country for a free loan of books.<\/span><\/strong>
This man is lonely, a little neurasthenic. He feels old, he is full of regrets.<\/span><\/strong>
The story begins with an intriguing piece of music: letting himself be guided by it, Le Chauffeur will meet and become friends with a troupe of French brass bands and acrobats who give shows in the street.<\/span><\/strong>
He \u00ab offered them a walk on the walls of Old Quebec. \u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\u00ab ils mont\u00e8rent sur les murs en gravissant les talus de la porte Kent. Au sommet ils prirent un sentier herbeux. \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
\u00ab They climbed the walls by climbing the slopes of the Kent Gate. At the top they took a grassy path. \u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Nous suivons le m\u00eame itin\u00e9raire. C\u2019est l\u2019automne pour nous aussi, une belle journ\u00e9e d\u2019automne. <\/strong>
Le Chauffeur et ses nouveaux amis n\u2019ont peut-\u00eatre pas rencontr\u00e9 ces bambins reli\u00e9s entre eux et aux adultes par un large ruban auxquels eux-m\u00eames semblent se tenir par une poign\u00e9e d\u2019une autre couleur.<\/strong>
We follow the same route. It is autumn for us too, a beautiful autumn day.<\/span><\/strong>
Le Chauffeur and his new friends may not have met these toddlers connected to each other and to the adults by a wide ribbon to which they themselves seem to be holding on by a handle of another color.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Nous passons par la porte Kent, suivons le sentier herbeux et admirons au loin, tr\u00e8s loin, la vue sur les Laurentides.<\/strong>
\u00ab Ils prirent le temps d\u2019admirer les montagnes au profil doux qui annon\u00e7aient les grands paysages du Nord. \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
Si le Chauffeur et ses amis voient des marmottes, pour nous elles se cachent, ou bien elles ont disparu du paysage, depuis le temps.<\/strong>
We pass through the Kent Gate, follow the grassy path and admire the view of the Laurentians in the distance, far away.<\/span><\/strong>
\u00ab They took the time to admire the mountains with their gentle profile that announced the great landscapes of the North. \u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
If le Chauffeur and his friends see marmots, for us they are hiding, or they have disappeared from the landscape, since time.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Les Laurentides, tr\u00e8s loin, vues d\u2019un autre point de vue. Et aussi le pont qui relie l\u2019\u00eele d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans au continent.<\/strong>
The Laurentians, far away, seen from another point of view. And also the bridge that connects \u00cele d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans to the continent.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

En arrivant aux plaines d\u2019Abraham, une pens\u00e9e triste pour le chanteur Karl Tremblay, qui vivait encore quand nous \u00e9tions venus ici au c\u0153ur de l\u2019hiver 2009. Son cancer l\u2019a emport\u00e9 quelques jours avant le retour de Paul \u00e0 la maison.<\/strong>
\u00ab Sur les plaines d\u2019Abraham l\u2019arm\u00e9e trinquait \u00e0 l\u2019eau de vie\u2026 \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
Les plaines d\u2019Abraham, c\u2019est aussi le lieu du combat \u00e0 l\u2019issue duquel la France a perdu le Qu\u00e9bec. La question de l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance reste un sujet br\u00fblant, je l\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 dit.<\/strong>
Le livre \u00ab la Tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne \u00bb est arriv\u00e9 en France en 1996, et les Cow-Boys Fringants n\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9 c\u00e9l\u00e8bres que quelques ann\u00e9es plus tard.<\/strong>
Arriving at the Plains of Abraham, a sad thought for the singer Karl Tremblay, who was still alive when we came here in the heart of winter 2009. His cancer took him a few days before Paul returned home.<\/span><\/strong>
\u00ab On the Plains of Abraham the army toasted with brandy\u2026 \u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
The Plains of Abraham is also the site of the battle that led to France losing Quebec. The question of independence remains a hot topic, as I have already said.<\/span><\/strong>
The book \u00ab La Tourn\u00e9e d’Automne \u00bb arrived in France in 1996, and the Cow-Boys Fringants were not famous until a few years later.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Moi, je revois la foule rassembl\u00e9e ici sous la neige. Les uns, chauss\u00e9s de skis, se faisaient tirer par un cheval au galop, d\u2019autres mettaient des gants \u00e9pais pour descendre sur la tyrolienne, il y avait des traineaux \u00e0 chien, des concours de patinage, de sculpture ! Non, l\u2019hiver n\u2019enfermait pas les gens chez eux. Aujourd\u2019hui c\u2019est encore tr\u00e8s anim\u00e9 m\u00eame s\u2019il y a beaucoup moins de monde.<\/strong>
I can still see the crowd gathered here in the snow. Some, wearing skis, were being pulled by a galloping horse, others put on thick gloves to go down the zip line, there were dog sleds, skating and sculpture competitions! No, winter didn’t lock people up at home. Today it’s still very lively even if there are far fewer people.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

En f\u00e9vrier, j\u2019ai publi\u00e9 une photo d\u2019un monstre de bois, je crois le retrouver ici. Oui, il y a pas mal de ressemblance, vous ne pensez pas ?<\/strong>

Quelques pages plus loin, le Chauffeur visite l\u2019\u00eele d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans et monte tout en haut de la tour d\u2019observation avec Marie.<\/strong>
Pour Paul, ce sera une \u00e9motion extraordinaire : \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital, incapable de marcher, plus tard dans son lit m\u00e9dicalis\u00e9, il en a tant r\u00eav\u00e9, de cette \u00eele, du Chauffeur, de Marie, \u00eele r\u00eav\u00e9e d\u2019abord, et atteinte \u00ab en vrai \u00bb maintenant ! Le r\u00eave semblait fou, d\u00e9raisonnable, inaccessible, et pourtant Paul a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de le r\u00e9aliser.<\/strong>
A few pages later, the Chauffeur visits the island of Orleans and climbs to the top of the observation tower with Marie.<\/span><\/strong>
For Paul, it will be an extraordinary emotion: in the hospital, unable to walk, later in his medical bed, he dreamed of it so much, of this island, of the Chauffeur, of Marie, an island dreamed of at first, and reached \u00ab in real \u00bb now! The dream seemed crazy, unreasonable, inaccessible, and yet Paul decided to make it come true.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

J\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 publi\u00e9 cette carte, magique elle aussi. Elle repr\u00e9sente toute \u00ab la tourn\u00e9e d\u2019automne \u00bb. <\/strong>
S\u00e9b l\u2019a constitu\u00e9e en relisant encore une fois le livre, et en notant chaque \u00e9tape du bibliobus et du Chauffeur.<\/strong>
Nous sommes all\u00e9s beaucoup moins loin puisque nous avons pris le traversier de Trois-Pistoles \u00e0 Tadoussac. Cela n\u2019a aucune importance : nous avons voyag\u00e9 en fonction de nos possibilit\u00e9s, Paul s\u2019est surpass\u00e9 et revient de ce voyage rajeuni, rass\u00e9r\u00e9n\u00e9. <\/strong>
Depuis bient\u00f4t un an nous menons un combat \u00e9trange, et nous avons d\u00e9plac\u00e9 des montagnes. Le Qu\u00e9bec, c\u2019\u00e9tait notre r\u00e9compense\u2026<\/strong>
I have already published this map, also magical. It represents the entire \u00ab fall tour \u00bb. <\/span><\/strong>
Seb has established it by rereading the book once again, and noting down each step of the bookmobile and the Chauffeur.<\/span><\/strong>
We went much less far since we took the ferry from Trois-Pistoles to Tadoussac. It doesn\u2019t matter: we traveled according to our possibilities, Paul outdid himself and returned from this trip rejuvenated, reassured.<\/span><\/strong>
For almost a year now, we have been waging a strange battle, and we have moved mountains. Quebec was our reward\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
