Quebec’s Most Beautiful Villages
In researching and biking the Eastern Townships I was fortunate to visit three of Quebec’s most beautiful villages – Knowlton (now Lac-Brome), Stanbridge East and Stanstead. There are only 37 villages that make the cut in 10 different regions of Quebec.
Lac Brome - formerly Knowlton and one of Quebec's Most Beautiful Villages
Visiting at least one of Quebec’s most beautiful villages will enhance your vacation experience. The villages have been chosen to represent Quebec’s important architectural and historical record. Not many people live in these villages but that only adds to their charm. The villages I saw had homes that are reminiscent of the New England Style with great wrap around porches. Sitting within sight of each other might be a green house with white shutters, a pink house with white shutters and a bright blue house with black shutters. It’s a feast for the eyes.
One of Quebec's Most Beautiful Villages
The villages in the Eastern Townships that have the Most Beautiful Village designation were first settled by Irish immigrants around 1820 and by the British and Scottish in 1840. That’s the reason you see so many English names.
Come and visit Quebec. Discover the personality and hospitality that make up the Quebecois people – even if you don’t speak a word of French.

(But hey, Scots *are* British. Scots and English is prob what you mean to say. otherwise it’s a bit like calling Canadians Americans!

I don’t want to piss off the Scots or the Brits so will change the wording. Thanks Jools.
