Episode of the Autumn colours tour of the Laurentian mountains
It was our dream to see the coloured leaves of Maple route in Quebec. So we booked the excursion for Laurentians at tourist information in Montreal.
We went to the Laurentian Mountains from Montreal by tour bus. It took about 45 minutes to go to Laurentians from Montreal.
The tour bus arrived at Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts in Quebec province. As soon as we got off the bus, we could see the colored leaves in the town. So we were already excited to see such a colourful scenery. But we were really looking forward to discovering a boat cruise in Laurentians, so we hurried to go to the harbor.
It's 60 - 90 minutes boat cruise on the lake called "Lac des Sables" in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts. The boat takes time and move slowly on the lake. At the beginning of the cruise, we were just surprised to see the huge scale of colored leaves of the Laurentian mountains. Maple leaves were coloured such as orange, yellow and red. Those colourful scenery spreaded all directions! We lost our words. We were captivated by the beauty of the maple trees of the Laurentian mountains.
The scenery was too beautiful from each angle and that made us to take photos at every moment. As a result, we took a lot of pictures. :-)
After our excitement calmed down, we finally could enjoy the autumn colour quietly. The cruise was very calm, tranquil, relaxing and peaceful. We felt like that time stopped at that moment.
On the way to go back to Montreal, the tour bus stopped by Saint Sauveur village. We had a little bit of free time there so we walked around the town.
There was a beautiful Catholic church called "Paroisse St-Sauver" in Saint Sauveur village. The shops and houses in the town were decorated with Halloween goods, so we could enjoy the autumn more.
Saint Sauveur was very pretty town. Saint Sauveur has full of autumn colors.
We could also enjoy the peaceful time in Saint Sauveur.
We really enjoyed the splendid and
colourful Laurentian mountains. We had calm, relaxing and
beautiful time in Laurentians, Quebec!
