Along the Missisquoi River
When we ask Hélène Boyer where she prefers to ride in the Townships, right away, she begins to describe the Missisquoi Valley Road, between Abercorn and Mansonville. The views along the Missisquoi River and the fertile meadows are absolutely delightful. “You’ll also discover a surprising domain at the eastern end of the road by taking Route 243 for a few kilometres, then turn onto Chemin de l’Aéroport, and finally Chemin du Monastère. When you see the Holy Transfiguration Russian Orthodox Monastery, the chapel and the small cemetery (with its headstones carved in Cyrillic characters!), you’ll immediately be transported to the heart of rural Russia!” Psst! Visits are allowed, but it’s important to respect the quiet ambiance here!
