Québec City

I stay only few hours in the city so I don't really know the city but it looks like a very touristic place, with lots of children and tourists groups. The "old city" spirit is a little bit artificial, and they'd loved to be more european as they try to look like. But it's a nice place to visit, for sure !

Slow speed with the river

Without tripod it was hard to shoot something really good, but I did my best at least to catch something.. It's fun, I like it ! The flow of this little river was very fast and the colors of the sky and the trees where great to capture. It was a cool night there too !

Tadoussac

This is the place where whales are supposed to be visible... Can you see anything ? Actually it was a little bit to early, the good season is during june, at the begining of the summer. But it's a cool place, very small town too, and the other touristic attract is the sand dunes. I slept in the top of them and it was pretty cold !

Jazz Concert, Chicoutimi

Another great live music bar, le Bar à Pitons... The place is like your livingroom with only few tables and chairs, and the scene is two square meters, so musicians play just in front of you. This time it was a jazz improvisation band, and I've loved that, again !

Around Saguenay

I stayed five days in the region of Saguenay. It was continuously raining the three first, and then the sun came out.. I had few walks in different little parks of the region. Here, water is everywhere.

May, 1st - On the Road

I travel by car from Montreal to Chicoutimi, taking the road of the Parc des Laurentides. The 200 kilometers road is crossing forests and frozen lakes. It's a national park without any human construction. We stopped near the Jacques Cartier lake, the bigger of the park.

Cemetery doesn't always look sad

In Mont Royal there is a huge cemetery. It's called Notre Dame des Neiges, and it's so great to walk among the dead when it's sunny like it was...
