The majority of our trip out east was spent in the two neighboring towns of Piedmont and Saint Sauveur which flow together closely enough that you can walk between them. Of the two, Saint Sauveur is larger with an off-season population of 10000 or so while Piedmont has around 2000 year round inhabitants. Below is a picture of the restaurant district of Saint Sauveur.
The Catholic church had a strong influence in Quebec for a long time and though its popularity is waining these days it still has a large presence and nearly every tiny town boasts an enormous church of some sort. The picture below shows the main church of Saint Sauveur which you can see poking out of the top of the picture above as well.
Rounding out this entry, this is the little condo that the company put us up in. Our room was at the very right end in the middle and the lower left of the picture shows our blue rental car. This was house and home to us for a month or so and made for a very nice getaway spot.
We were there in the off season as these condos are typically rented out for skiers in the winter so we didn't find occassion to use the fireplace inside.
