Getting to Quyon, a Small Quebec Village Via a Cable Ferry

After a walk around D.'s Arnprior neighbourhood, we drove to tour the nearby towns.






















We saw a sign informing visitors that there was a ferry which people could take to reach a Quebec town on the other side of the Ottawa River.

 We asked D. about it and he gave us some instructions to go to the ferry dock.

We had some problems finding the dock as there were not a lot of clear signs directing people there.













We had to stop and ask for directions before we could find the small ferry dock.



























The ferry arrived every ten minutes and we waited for the next one together with another four or five vehicles.

It was a small ferry which could probably hold five - six vehicles at a time.

We took a cable ferry from Ottawa to Quyon

The ferry was run on a cable and it didn't take long at all  for the ferry to cross this narrow crossing.





















The ferry took us to Quyon, a small Quebec village on the other side of the Ottawa River.























Both the Quebec and Canada flags were flying high in this Quebec province.

Quebec is the French speaking province in Canada.




















They have a language law that protects the French language.

We knew we were in Quebec as the language on street and public signs were all  in French.


























We took a drive around this samll French town and came across Tim Horton's camp site for children.

















But the camp was not open yet therefore we could not go in for a visit.

Quyon is a very small village with a beautiful church, a convenience store, a couple of gas stations.















A newly open restaurant called Resto 148.
The only restaurant in the village.

We could not resist going in to try some French food in this Quebec French speaking village.

We ordered the French Toast from the menu and were not disappointed. It was different from all the French Toasts I had before. But it was good homemade style food!

There has been a lot of rain lately.




















Both in Ontario and Quebec, a few cities have been experiencing unusual heavy rain.

Water level has risen really high in some part of this community.

This picnic table was completley submerge under water with only the umbrellas visible

We returned to Arnprior after our brief visit in the Quebec province taking the same ferry that brought us here.
