The Itinerary
An hour and a half from Montreal, the Eastern Townships offer a complete change of scenery. The region, shaped by Loyalist heritage, alternates vineyards, shimmering lakes and well-kept Victorian villages.
Sherbrooke is the Estrie hub, but secondary roads reveal the real treasures: the wine route between Dunham and Sutton, the Hatley road around Lac Massawippi, or the climb to Orford and its national park.
Magog, on Lake Memphremagog, is perfect for a charming stopover. The Abbey of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac, famous for its monk-made ciders and cheeses, is a must just minutes from the lake.
