Tues Aug 12th - Tour around Ile D'Orleans

Lovely boulangerie...

Scrumptious treats

What was forecast to be a rainy day turned out, to our delight, to be quite sunny with a few high clouds, so after a slow breakfast we set off at about 11am to tour around the island. We reminisced a little as we drove about the time we were here many years ago with our friends from UK Derek and Lin. Stopped at a Boulangerie for coffee and bakery treats late morning, then drove around the point of the island looking out over Quebec City, then on to the Cassis maker where we bought some Cassis, then a winery ( Le Vignoble de Ste Petronille) to have a tasting and bought a bottle of nice white. More tastings at various food and cideries etc with a last stop at the 'fromagerie' for a tasting of fried cheese... yum!!! Bought some local cheeses, some dry smoked sausage and, armed with our fresh bread from the boulangerie, we headed back to camp to enjoy a lovely platter of our goodies... a quick walk to the Quai before bed.
