    What else ...

    There is almost no public transportation to come where we live. So, just be advised that it may be difficult for you to visit or sightseeing around if you don't have a vehicle, which is probably the case. We can accommodate and bring you to bigger cities like Drummondville or Sorel, but it has to be planned.
    We are evangelical Christians.
