2015 - Parc National du Mont-Mégantic, QC (I)

March 2015
First attempt to watch the stars failed.

Auberge Le Saint-Léon
999 chemin de Piopolis
Val-Racine G0Y 1E0

Built in 1895, Auberge Le Saint-Léon was initially a general store. Since 2001, this building lodges travelers. Once I entered the main door, a piano was waiting for us. The dining room was very cozy. It also has a fireplace. The building was initially a general store. Thank you Jean & Alain for accommodating us and giving us road guidance.

ASTROLab @Parc National du Mont-Mégantic

Located at the base of the mountain, this winter ASTROLab offers astronomy evenings including a dinner, a snowshooing hike on a 3.5 km trail lighted by torches and an astronomy night at the ASTROLab. Unfortunately, the weather conditions were not the best. It was warm but the sky was not clear.

Lac-Mégantic

Following breakfast, I drove by the red zone in downtown. It is about 30 minutes away from Auberge Le Saint-Léon. Rue Laval is the main road in downtown with lots of shops. The red zone is the location where the rail disaster happened in 2013.
