Ocr.4 and 5,11 and 13) The Tournée des 20 showcases works by artists and craftsmen working in the western sector of the Eastern Townships.Artists from Dunham, Frelighsburg, Pigeon Hill, Bedford, Philipsburg, Saint-Armand, Stan-bridge East and Mystic take part in this last studio tour of the 2003 season.The Tournée bears many resemblances to its Eastern counterpart, the Tour des Arts.It is a studio tour in which artists and artisans open their homes, gardens and workshops to visitors.The number of participating artists is limited (in this case, to 20 artists) and varied to represent a broad cross-section of arts and crafts.The Tour des Arts, however, is compressed into a short week-and-a-half, during which many of the participating artists expect to do a large portion of their sales for the year.Tournée des 20 organizers have mercifully decided to take a different approach, spreading their studio tour over four consecutive weekends that coincide with harvest season in local fields and vineyards.The weekend approach is undoubtedly more difficult for the artists, who open their doors between 10 a.m.and 6 p.m.during the four-weekend stretch, but makes practical sense given that summer vacations are coming to an end and children are probably back in school.Fortunately, the Tournée de 20 route also brings tourists on an intercept course with some of Quebec’s best regional wineries, many of which offer free tastings.Copies of the 2003 Tournée des 20 brochure are available in local tourist offices.More information is available at the organization’s website www.art-t20.qc.ca.\s the 2003 tour season gets underway, keep in mind that many artists with studios will welcome guests by appointment throughout the year.So pick out a few interesting workshops, allow for a little serendipity and enjoy the adventure.Travel Insurance You are thinking of leaving the country for your vacations?Don't forget to contact us for your Travel Insurance! *Following companies offered: Croix Bleue - Adedi Select A vantage - I IB C Insurance - 7our Med - J ADOQ Floride JJJssurjj^ y“ (450)263-0110 Labrecque Roy Yelk inc.106 Church St.Cowansville TRAVEL & VACATION • BROME COUNTY NEWS Wednesday, June 18, 2003 • page 31 Le peuplement des Cantons?Entre le lac Champlain et la Chaudière, les Cantons-de-l’Est forment le débouché des routes empruntées par les Abénaquis à partir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre entre les côtes du Maine et celles du Saint-Laurent.En plein coeur des Appalaches, la région a servi de zone de passage, de chasse et de trappe pour les Abénaquis, appartenant à la grande famille des Algonquins.Il y avait donc de nombreux villages amérindiens avant l’arrivée des blancs, aux 17e et 18e siècles.Malheureusement, peu de vestiges de ces peuplements ont été découverts à ce jour.Les Abénaquis, nom tiré du vocable wôbanaki qui signifie terre de l’aurore ou pays qui est à l’est, naviguaient sur un réseau de rivières particulièrement élaboré, dont la Chaudière, la Kennebec, la Saint-François, la Yamaska et la Connecticut.Ils ont d’ailleurs pris parti pour la Nouvelle-France pendant les rivalités coloniales entre la France et l’Angleterre.Les descendants des premiers Abénaquis vivent aujourd’hui à Odanak, en bordure du fleuve Saint-Laurent.L’héritage tangible qu’ils nous ont légué, c’est justement la poésie des noms amérindiens de nos lacs et riv- ières, lesquels ont été apposés, plus tard, à des villages fondés par des européens : Coaticook (rivière de la terre du pin), Massawippi (grand lac profond), Memphrémagog (grande étendue d’eau), Mégantic (lieu où il y a de la truite de lac) et Missisquoi (beaucoup d’oiseaux aquatiques).Les Loyalistes et les Eastern Townships Ce sont les Loyalistes de la Nouvelle-Angleterre qui ont d’abord marqué notre patrimoine bâti et façonné le visage des Cantons-de-l’Est.De 1775 à 1810, pendant et après la guerre d’indépendance américaine, arrive la première vague d’immigrants, composée de néo-américains.Voulant rester fidèles à la Couronne britannique et refusant de devenir citoyens américains , ces Loyalistes quittèrent les excolonies anglaises , pour venir se réfugier au Canada.Des milliers de fermiers, mais aussi des commerçants et des industriels choisissent alors les terres du Bas-Canada, les Eastern Townships, par opposition aux Western Townships, du Haut-Canada.En 1792, le gouvernement canadien, membre du Dominion britannique, fonde.Auberge Georgeville 18 8 9 WELCOME TO CANADA'S MOST HISTORIC INN AND ONE OF QUEBEC'S PREMIER DINING DESTINATIONS.Overlooking Georgeville on the shores of pristine Lake Memphremagog and only 75 minutes east of Montreal, a romantic stay at one of the top voted romantic inns in the country awaits you.Not able to find the time to get away overnight and looking for that unforgettable dining experience in an elegant country atmosphere?Why not enjoy a leisurely dinner drive from Montreal!
