The drive took about 9 hours, but we stopped several times along the way. Most of the way we were on toll roads, so there were not many choices of places to stop. Lunch was from the gas station and really not too bad - not like the gas stations in the US.

The scenery on our drive was amazing. These are a few shots I took while we were on the road.
We finally arrived at the farmhouse - Les Quatre Vents - where we were staying (after a brief stop at the grocery store). We were pleasantly surprised!!! It was beautiful - amazing views. The farmhouse was built in the 18th century - the one we stayed in actually used to be the barn! The farm had been there since the 1760's - older than the United States! What an experience it was for all of us. And if you are wondering where we found this place - check out vrbo.com (vacation rentals by owner) - you can find cool places all over the world.

The drive into the house was really cool - lots of old buildings and places along the side of the road that were fascinating. Really wish I knew some of the stories of these old buildings.
When we were at the farmhouse, the kids enjoyed the time in the backyard - playing games, swinging, and just hanging out.
