Where is "la ferme forestière le jardin" ?

We are located in the forests of the Appalachian mountains in Québec, Canada. We are very close (half an hour) to the border of the United States. The neighbouring state is Maine, USA. It is about 250 kilometres from us to Montreal and about 200 kilometres to Québec City. Also very close by is a little town called Lac Mégantic that has at a beautiful lake for which it is well known. It takes about 25 minutes from us to Lac Mégantic. The next bigger town is Sherbrooke, 80 kilometres away. You can get all the commodities of a big American city there. We are surrounded by nature reserves and national parks where you can camp, fish, swim, go hiking and canoeing. If you like cycling there are lots of great roads and tracks. It is ideal for training as the roads are not very busy.

If you like the tranquillity of nature then this is the place. ‘La ferme forestière le jardin’ is situated on a private lake surrounded by 210 acres of beautiful forest and fresh air. You can read a book under the pine trees with a view to Mont Mégantic and the Appalachian mountains. Or if you prefer you can take a swim in the lake, go fishing for trout and have it grilled for dinner on the barbecue.
