Gratuit, avec espace dégustation et un peu incontournable au Canada : le sirop d'érable et son musée. Ambiance fête du sucre de la Petite Maison dans la Prairie, mais aussi découverte d'installations terriblement modernes aujourd'hui.

| Approved by the Japanese Minister of Agriculture and certified against terrorism... maple syrup is kind and gentle! |
Tout ce qui est assaisonable peut être agrémenté de sirop d'érable du bacon aux olives cocktail et passant par le beurre, l'alcool, les sucettes...
Ensuite, petite promenade sur la colline parlementaire, devant le parlement du Québec,avec son parc plein de statues de premiers ministres et sa façade remplie des personnages historiques de la Nouvelle-France, de Cartier à Wolfe. Heureusement que j'avais pris un cours sur l'histoire du Canada l'année dernière !

| After all the sugar, I went to see Québec's parliament and its park full of statues of prime ministers, like mythic René Lévesque, who pushed for Québec's independence in the late 1970s-early 1980s. |

| And here is the Parliament of Québec. |
Are they making syrup yet? It was still too cold in New Hampshire a few weeks ago! When I went with my class it was April and still snowy. They made us pure maple syrup on snow candy. It was incredibly sweet-too sweet for most of the students and almost too sweet even for me.
RépondreSupprimerNo, not when I was there but I wouldn't be surprised if it had started by now. I really, really wanted to try the maple taffy on snow thing, because it's on Little House on the Prairie. But in the end I didn't. Though I love caramel, I'm not the biggest fan of maple syrup, to my own disappointment. I agree it's very sweet, but it's still better than the disgusting "breakfast syrup" you find in some American places. There wasn't enough fresh snow when I was there to have a "sugar party".
