Kamouraska

It was $3k for 5 rooms, 3 nights. $200 per room per night. I think there are three more rooms.

The high season here lasts no more than 3 months. And from what I gather most restaurants and touristy attractions close between December and May.

We're headed to Trois-Pistoles right now, another historic town. Joe Rain is in the red car.

Matty how far north have you ever been in Quebec?

 

[Blitty]

Are you doing rimouski?

 

[Matty]

Nah

 

[Matty]

Matty how far north have you ever been in Quebec?

Not very. Embarrassingly not very. Saguenay region.

Northeast, I've been to the Gaspésie region but only up to Ste-Anne-des-Monts, not all the way to Gaspé.

 

[FairWarning]

Yah, probably need to hire specialized contractors. The owners live in more modern construction next door. Lots of inns are set up that way here. I'd be interested to look at their financials, it seems like a tough business to be in. Way too seasonal here.

When does the weather really start to turn up there, middle of November?

 

[Matty]

I guess it depends on your definition of "really start to turn". Average low of 2 celsius in October is pretty bad.

It's been muggy as fuck this week. Big rainstorm earlier so temps are starting to come down. But yeah, some nights will be close to freezing in just 3 months.

Slowly making our way back. Pit stop in Rivière-Ouelle where a lot of my mom's family still lives. We might go bug a great-uncle or two.

We're eating at La Baleine Endiablée which is combo microbrewery/inn/concert venue 👌
