East Coast/Canada - Day 13 (Monday, August 29, 2016: Saguenay to Montreal)

Today was mostly a driving day. We stopped for lunch at Bistro La Ferme, had dinner in Montreal at Stash Café, then walked around Old Montreal, and stayed the night at Hôtel WelcomInns.

Saguenay to Montreal: Approximately 286 miles, about 4 hours 45 minutes.


Our lunch view at Bistro La Ferme, located along the St. Lawrence river, has a seasonal menu made with local produce. A farm-to-table establishment that is only open from May to October. The beef comes from their own farm, the Highland Farm, raised naturally, free of antibiotics and hormones. Bistro La Ferme, Deschambault, Canada.
