^Fantastic. I was last there about 20 years ago, before I had a digital camera.

I had to go to the hardware today, and rather than driving on the highway, I took the small country roads between my village and Trois-Rivières. Here are pictures of 3 of the villages I went through. It was a fine fall day.
Saint-Prosper-de-Champlain
I stopped by the rather impressive church place in the middle of the village. Except for a group of men on quads, I was alone.
Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan
Sainte-Geneviève is a very quiet village located ont the shore of Batiscan river. I think that it once was a prosperous (and small) industrial centre. The old main street (first pic) still bears signs of a faded glory. While I was there, it turned noon and the church bells rang. I only saw 3 folks enter the temple. On the narrow streets of the old bourg, people were busy setting their gardens and homes for the upcoming winter. On some porch, an impressive number of cats were nonchalantly sunbathing.
Champlain
Finally, I had to stop in Champlain, a quaint village part of the "greater" Trois-Rivières area. It is beautifully located on the St. Lawrence river. Champlain is considered to be one of the most beautiful villages of the province. The wharf was almost empty. Leisure and fishing boats were left drying in the backyards, some already wrapped in their protective canvas.
