and indigo blues. Her shop can be
found at 10 Main St. N.
Only a few feet away lies the Pleasant, a hotel and restaurant that is so
famous that even actress Naomi Watts
has been spotted both eating and staying there while shooting a film. It’s
the perfect spot to end a day in Sutton. From the outside, the Pleasant is
a pretty Victorian-style building with
fern green siding and white windows
decorated with lace.
But it’s from the inside that things
get interesting. In the evenings, the
large dining room shines with purple
light giving prominence to large,
modern-looking canvases of photographed flowers. At first, the effects
might seem jarring, but it’s the unusual modernity of it all that appeals
to visitors.
As for the food... the fare is deceptively simple, but therein lies the secret. Take the caramelized onion
veloute as an example: filled with
aged cheddar, local apples and
smoked bacon, the dish is a dreamy
appetizer that stimulates the appetite.
The main courses vary widely: diners can opt for mushroom ravioli,
grilled beef steak, or green and black
tartare. But it’s especially the seared
scallops that appeal so much to fish
lovers. Juicy and tender, the scallops
come prepared in a butternut squash
puree, roasted with green beans and
almonds, and finished with a red
wine glace.
As for dessert... it’s a tough call.
Lemon pie, carrot cake, or crème
brulée? The dressed-up salted brownie
is served in a vanilla sauce with hazelnut tile. Washed down with coffee or
Bailey’s makes it all the better.
The Pleasant is located at 1 Pleasant
Street.
Sutton is a place, a community, but
also a destination. One that you will
hopefully never wish to leave.
Knowlton streets come alive with
music, art and theatre
T
he arts will come alive
this summer on the
streets and gardens of
Lac Brome. Thanks to Arts
Alive, a brand new initiative
by ELAN, the English-Language Arts Network, six Quebec cities and towns will
host a virtual street festival
that celebrates everything
grouped under the banner of
art.
Among the featured
towns is the picturesque Victorian village of Knowlton,
which will be literally
turned into an active arts
community. Danny McAuley,
owner of the town’s bookstore, Brome Lake Books, has
been part of the planning
committee since the idea
took form last fall.
“We’ve been meeting at
least once a month, if not
more,” said an enthusiastic
McAuley. “ELAN approached
us, and we were pleased to
be basically representing the
Eastern Townships.”
Although the initial idea
was to create a circuit, the
Arts Alive festival will sweep
through the towns and cities
of Hudson, Quebec City, the
West Island, Knowlton,
Huntingdon and Wakefield.
Each community will host
this moveable festival, where
local artists of all trades will
be showing off their talents
alongside renowned guest
artists.
A number of activities are
planned for July 3 and 4 in
Knowlton.
“We have two main concerts: one called the Once on
Friday night at Brome Lake
Theatre, the other by Dave
Gossage on Saturday at Lakeview Inn. We will also have
musicians playing on the
street, as well as a number of
workshops pertaining to improvisation and comedy, watercolours,
clogging,
filmmaking, that kind of
thing,” said McAuley. “We
are also planning on hosting
a Louise Penny brunch and
hosting a Penny trivia contest, asking questions about
her book best-selling book
Three Pines. We might even
be acting out little scenes
from her book. A copy of her
latest book, which is only
coming out at the end of the
summer, will be the prize,”
he added.
The town of Knowlton
will be transformed for a few
days into an art gallery,
where 20 shop owners have
agreed to feature local
artists. A scavenger hunt will
be organized, where participants are asked to take pictures of the artwork. “You
could call it speed-dating
and meeting your local
artist,” suggested McAuley.
The local library and the
Brome Lake Theatre have
also agreed to put up some
local artwork.
“We had no shortage of

Theatre Lac Brome:
30 years of stage and music
T
heatre Lac Brome is in a
celebratory mood, currently blowing out the
candles as 2015 marks its
30th anniversary.
Nicholas Pynes, manager
of the Brome Lake theatre, is
happy that the theatre has
flourished for so long.
“I started off in 1991, and
I’m just so glad that we are
still in business,” said Pynes,
who hinted that it was not
always champagne and roses
running a theatre.
“It’s like restaurant that
has to change the menu
every year,” he added. “That’s
why the theatre offers musical concerts, theatrical performances, musicals... you
name it.”
The 2015 season is no different in that respect.
COURTESY
Emma Stevens, widely recognized
as one of the founders of Theatre
Lac Brome 30 years ago, played
Shirley Valentine several times
over the years and will return to
the stage this year.
Featuring a number of
highly anticipated performances, the theatre is starting
off with a bang. Shirley Valentine by Willie Russell taunts
an unhappy, unsatisfied
housewife with the allure of
Greece.
Always Patsy Cline by Ted
Swindley, analyzes the
friendship Patsy Cline developed with a housewife during this musical evening.
Then there is Her Point of
View, featuring Natalie Choquette. The bilingual show
dips into the past, asking coquettish questions like: what
was the life of great composers like... for their wives?
The play reaches back and
studies the lives of musical
greats like Mozart and
Rossini.
Pynes has had to be creative to keep everyone happy.
“I’d say that the French theatre is still a slightly different animal, but that is also
why I wanted the theatre to
evolve into bilingual presentations,” he said.
“To a certain extent, we
are the owners of our destiny. I’m happy to say,
though, that we do have a
national reputation. Patrons
often call to say they are on
their way to Stratford and
Shaw festivals, but want to
stop off here before they go.”
With 140 seats, Pynes
stressed the beauty that intimacy can offer a small theatre setting.
“We are an important
part of the performing arts
in Quebec, and to some extent our small structure can
be more pleasing than a
huge venue like Place des
Arts,” he said.
A pianist himself, Pynes
likes to invite good friends
like countertenor Daniel Taylor to perform, adding a different dimension to the
theatre.
“I don’t want to compete
with the Orford Festival or
with the concerts organized
at the Old Brick Church. But
I do invite small ensembles
and the like. Maybe it’s because music really is my passion,” he concluded.
A film series running on
Sunday nights is scheduled
for the summer. On July 5,
Pynes is planning to invite
filmmakers themselves to
the theatre.
To highlight the theatre’s
30 years in operation, a vintage gala evening with past
presidents is planned.
The Theatre Lac Brome is
located at 9 Mont Echo Street
in Knowlton.

Andy Warhol ‘pops’ up at
Sherbrooke fine arts museum
A
ndy Warhol is widely
viewed as an iconic figure in the arts movement known as pop art.
Others point to his deft critique of North American
consumerism style as a pioneering force in debates on
capitalism.
Whatever your understanding of Andy Warhol
may be, visitors can soon
learn more about this artistic figure by going to the Museum of Fine Arts in
Sherbrooke.
Running from June 6 to
Sept. 27 and drawn from the
collection of Paul Maréchal,
the exhibit is expected to
show a virtually unknown aspect of Warhol’s work. It
would be a gross understatement to say that Maréchal
knows a thing or two about
V
Warhol and the pop movement.
For starters, Maréchal is
the curator of the Power Corporation of Canada’s art collection. When he has time
off, he immerses himself in
everything that is Warhol
and owns what is generally
believed to be the world’s
second-largest collection of
Warhol artwork.
Nothing seems to get in
Maréchal’s way to access
Warhol’s work. “Sometimes I
had to buy an entire year of
Good Housekeeping just to
find one or two illustrations,” he told the Montreal
Gazette back in March 2013.
Employing a variety of
subjects and media, Warhol
moulded graphic images
into being by zooming in on
advertising materials, available in record sleeves,
posters, magazines and

the Sherbrooke museum,
was happy to say that the upcoming exhibit does not resemble others, which were
held at Montreal’s Museum
of Fine Arts back in 2008.
“The other exhibits focused more on the posters
and magazines, whereas we
made the decision to feature
objects that Warhol worked
on, such as stamps, bank
notes, a miniature car, an illustrated children’s book, as
well as wine bottle labels,”
she said.
“There are some items
here that have never been
shown before, which is what
makes it so exciting,” she
added, referring to some 115
objects that will be on display.

Revitalize the senses at Nordic Station
S
pa Nordic Station is celebrating its 10 anniversary and is doing it
Russian-style.
Adding an underground
steam room and a Russian
steam bath known better as
a “banya,” Magog’s spa will
now have even more zen-like
features to offer its clientele.
The underground steam
room will bathe spa-goers in
a warm and soothing mist
that is lightly scented with
eucalyptus oil.
To make sure that that
the milieu remains bearable
for the body, the temperature is kept at a constant
temperature of 47 C with 100
per cent humidity.
As for the Russian banya,
it will get the sweat going
since it combines intense
heat with humidity. Banyas
differ from traditional
Finnish saunas in that the
temperature is usually
higher.
The temperature in the
banya can soar up to 93 C,
due to jets of water being
sprinkled freely over stones.
Nestled only five minutes
from Magog, Nordic Station
follows the Castle Brook
Creek. Its distinctive rustic
architecture lends itself well
to nature. With two Californian baths, two dry Finnish
saunas, two cold plunges
with waterfalls and heated
relaxation rooms, Nordic Station offers a true Nordic experience ritual originating
from Finland.
The Nordic experience
can basically be described as
follows: you start off with
heat, you plunge into cold,
and then you finish off with
some form of relaxation to
enhance your state of wellbeing. The point behind getting in the cold (which
understandably some shy
SPA NORDIC STATION
away from) is to cause the
pores of the skin to shrink,
eliminating toxins and activating circulation.
In addition to the new installations, visitors can
choose one of six packages:
the Nordic Tradition, the
Renaissance, the Authentic,
the Nordic Station Signature, the Serenity, and fi-
nally the Relaxation for Two.
The word “banya” historically refers to public bathhouses. Usually large in size,
with three main rooms, the
purpose of a banya is to
sweat profusely which is
thought to protect the condition of the skin. There are
even hiking banyas, usually
used by the military on long
travelling expeditions.
Russian banyas are the
closest relative to the Finnish
ones, which both use wet
steam. The North American
model of sweathouses is a
mild comparison to the Russian banya.
Spa Nordic Station is located at 285 des Pères Road
in Magog. The spa is open
from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on
Sundays to Thursdays and
from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on
Fridays and Saturdays.

SEASON 6
Coasting on Memphremagog cruises
S
pending a summery
day on the lake is just
one of the perks that
Memphremagog cruises offers tourists and locals alike
this season. With five different kinds of cruises, the
Memphremagog cruise boat,
aptly named “Grand Cru,”
putters along the 50 kilometre-long lake, offering a great
view of stately homes and
cottages dotting the leafy
landscape.
Guests can choose from a
variety of packages, such as
the Brunch Cruise ($72 for
adults, $39 for children), the
Lunch Cruise ($69 for adults,
$39 for children), the Offshore “4 to 6” ($37 for adults,
$15 for children), the “3 to 5”
($37 for adults, $15 for children) and finally the Dinner
Cruise (hovering around
$100 for adults and $35 for
children).
Annie Brunelle, vice-president of Memphremagog
cruises, shared some insights and offered some context about the Grand Cru,
which is celebrating its third
season plying the waters of
the Eastern Townships.
“Working for the Orford
Express train, we were struck
by the beauty of the city of
Magog and its surrounding
body of water. So we decided
it was high time to build a
cruise boat, which we called
Grand Cru since it alludes to
good food, good wine, basically a good time had by
everyone,” she said.
The boat can accommodate up to 176 people and
features a bar, a private
room and a deck with armchairs.
“We handle weddings and
birthdays, so it is also possible to reserve the Grand Cru
T
Le
for a personal occasion.
Some cruises make a short
stop in Georgeville, whereas
others simply take their time
coasting along the waters. “It
all depends on the condition
of the wind,” said Brunelle.
But sights and sounds are
not the only attractions of a
cruise ride: there is also the
food, which Brunelle labeled
as “basically French”, where
diners have the choice of five
entrees, five main meals and
four desserts.
For brunch, diners can
feast on smoked salmon and
vegetable frittatas or ham
and cheese French crepes. As
for lunch, options include
sun dried tomato cannelloni
or smoked pork shanks. If
you’re more in the mood for
dinner on a cruise boat, you
can select the elk terrine or
the surf and turf dish, comprised of grilled shrimp and
certified AAA Angus steak,
infused with honey.

Learn to suds up in luxury
A
t Savons des Cantons,
soap is more than just
a product. It’s a
lifestyle.
Savons des Cantons is a
soap factory that caters to
people who like to dabble
with soap in all its creativity.
For example, up to 56 people
can sign up for workshops to
learn how to make vegetable
glycerin soap (side note: glycerine is an odourless liquid
produced from plant oils,
typically palm oil, soy or coconut oil).
But there is more, such as
Fun en Bulles (Fun and Bubbles), which has just been enlarged to provide 27 places at
a time. Ideal for kids aged six
years old and older as well as
adults, this workshop includes materials such as the
required moulds, natural
colors, essential oils and dry
ingredients such as dried
flowers, rose petals and
grains. In one hour, kids can
discover soap-making techniques for $16 per person.
This particular activity can
be paired up with a visit to
the sea buckthorn fields,
and visitors may also take
part in an olive-oil soap-making demonstration. And
that’s not all. People are encouraged to lunch on the terrace, which offers Gourmet
Par Nature specialties such
as jellies and mustards made
with sea buckthorn, as well
as organic meat pies.
Laurent Grimon, coowner of Savons des Cantons, was quick to emphasize
the scope of activities that
visitors can enjoy. “Lunch,
Fun en Bulles, sea buckthorn
fields… there is a lot to do,
and we are pleased that people travel such distances to
come our way,” said Grimon.
“I’d say a lot of clientele
comes from Ottawa and the
United States, and of course
Quebec.”
Selling 59 kinds of soaps,
Savon des Cantons reaches
out to people with a real dedication to scent, colour and
performance. Scents include
jasmine, orange patchouli,
musk, rose, eucalyptus, tropical breeze, exfoliating coconut, coffee mint and pear.
“We are basically an olive-oil
based soap factory,” said Grimon. “I’d say 70 per cent of
our soaps are made with
olive oil, and 30 per cent
with coconut oil. But we also
sell hyper-allergenic soaps
and we treat all kinds of skin
problems, whether it’s for
the face or the body,” said
Grimon, referring to acne,
eczema or fungus problems.
In addition, the Savons des
Cantons sells moisturizing
creams and other calming
soaps.
Another goal dear to the
heart of Savons des Cantons
is to promote the Créateurs
des Saveurs brand. As such, a
number of Townships’ products are for sale in its bou“Visitors

encouraged to come to the
Gourmant Par Nature building to try out our gelato bar,
which includes sorbets, as
well as our sandwiches, coffees and waffles. We have a

Music fills the Orford summer
T
his year at Orford’s Arts
Centre, a number of
musical performances
are organized in order to
blend nature with music.
Here are three upcoming
events that have been highly
anticipated by Orford Festi-
val fans.
On June 26, at the GillesLefebvre Hall, professors
emeritus from the Orford International Academy will regroup to perform music
picked from the chamber
music repertoire, where
greats like Brahms and Dvorak will be at the forefront of
the concert.
On June 27, you can go to
the grand premiere of the
the new orchestra known as
the Orchestre de la Francophonie, which will be led
by orchestra conductors

Something new on tap in Sutton
T
he amber nectar is now
flowing in Sutton. A
microbrewery dubbed
Brouërie had settled in at
the former D & K Auberge,
and opened on May 30. The
microbrewery is hoping to
attract locals and tourists
alike with a new bar and retaurant.
“We’ll be serving 16 different varieties of beer, as well
as two non-alcoholic beverages: kombucha and ginger
ale,” said co-owner Élise
Bourduas prior to the opening.
“Until October, we will be
collaborating with three
other microbreweries from
the Lac St-Jean area: Hopera,
the Microbrasserie du Lac StJean, and Trèfle Noir. But
once October rolls around,
we will have all the necessary equipment installed to
make our own beer.”
The beers vary widely in
taste and alcohol content.
“We’ll offer blonde, red and
dark beers, but we have
some pretty intense ones, especially a dark beer from la
Trèfle Noir,” she added.
As for the food, it could
never be labelled “pub
grub.” On the contrary, the
Brouërie will offer salmon
gravlax, fried calamari, sandwiches and burgers, as well
as local favourites like poutine and steak frites. “We’ll
also serve up a variety of
meats and fish,” said Bourduas.
Along with co-owners
Martin Surprenant, Patrick
Roy and Anielle DoyonGilbert, the Brouërie will
have a distinctive flair and
sense of décor. “We are going
for what I call industrial
chic,” said Bourduas with a
laugh. “We’ve got metal,
iron and ceramics to give the
place that special vibe.” The
installation of numerous
lights by co-owner DoyonGilbert will create an inviting, welcoming ambiance.
With an entertainment li-
AUBERGE BROUËRIE
Diners can now enjoy good food
and beer at the new microbrewery in Sutton.
cence in their pockets, the
co-owners have not yet
scheduled any entertainment, but that is likely to
change. “We’ll get musicians
coming here soon,” promised Bourduas.
The back terrace, which
overlooks the gurgling waters, will be open for diners
to sip a beer or satisfy their
hunger. The eight rooms on
the second floor of the inn,
have been renovated and are
available for $139 for double
occupancy. “Each room
comes with a mezzanine
and king-sized beds,” added
Bourduas.
Diners can try the microbrewery La Brouërie at 27
Main Street in Sutton or by
calling 450-538-0005. Opening hours are 11 a.m. to
11p.m and you can find
more information by searching for Auberge Brouërie on
Facebook.

Reserving a place in nature
H
uttopia is coming to
Sutton. Well-known
in France, Huttopia
is a hotel company specializing in outdoor activities.
Now working in Quebec,
the European company has
recently offered a new
range of tours and vacations available at properties
in the region, such as Sutton’s former lodge, the
Horizon. This resort operator offers packages for all
kinds of overnighting,
whether it’s sleeping under
canvas or snuggling up in
wood cabins.
Huttopia specialises in
drawing people to nature,
without
embellishment.
There are no potted plants
or
manicured
lawns.
Rather, Huttopia seeks to
bring out the natural
beauty of wildlife. As
founder Céline Boussanne
put it: “We put an emphasis
on simplicity, tranquility
and high-quality services.”
The concept began when
Boussanne and her husband Philippe, residents of
Lyon, France, decided to create nature getaways in selected sites.
By 1999, they had
founded Huttopia. Soon,
European families were escaping the city on weekends or holidays, renting
Huttopia tents or staying in
cabins. The success rate was
so high that by 2015, the
company announced the establishment of a North
American getaway site, first
established in Quebec with
plans to expand over
Canada and the United
States.
Although the very first
Huttopia site will be in Sutton, Huttopia is no stranger
to Quebec, having established ready-to-camp tents
throughout Quebec since
2008.
At the former Horizon
Inn, the new Huttopia site
will offer 40 wooden cabins,
50 Huttopia tents, as well as
29 renovated hotel rooms. A
little dépanneur and a pool
are also expected.
Lucie Boulianne, a communications specialist at
Parcs Québec, noted that a
2012 study on camping revealed a sharp increase in
interest for ready-to-camp
activities.
“Camping really took off
in 2009 when Huttopia
tents were installed at national parks. Starting off
with 60, we shot up to a
total of 285 tents.”
When asked about the
benefits of camping, Boulianne cited simplicity as an
element. “Camping is a sure
and safe way to bring kids
out in the open air,” said
Boulianne. “During the day,
you can do so much like
fishing, hiking, biking, and
then prolong the enjoyment by seeing the forest in
a different light by night.”
With more than 4,440
camping sites available
throughout Quebec, Boulianne was quick to note
that reservations are essential for families. “With so
much to offer, you simply
have to make early reservations. When it comes to special
fauna
centers,
sometimes you have to reserve a year in advance.”

Scenes from the Townships

Savouring the sights and flavours
while wheeling along
A
redesigned bike path
criss-crossing the Eastern Townships is
poised to welcome many
more cyclists this summer.
That much was clear when
Tourism Eastern Townships
teamed up with Vélo Quebec
to rework the bike map.
Six experts from Vélo
Quebec picked the best vantage points to soak up the region’s landscapes. Factors
contributing to the selection
of the hot spots included distance, the incline of hills, as
well as the type and quality
of road surfaces.
Additionally, the “Top 6”
cycling circuits were pinpointed according to the
beauty of the landscape
along the route, tourist attractions, nearby accommo-
dations as well as, of course,
of gourmet food stops.
Cyclists can wheel their
way through the Top 6 bike
paths: the Mont Sutton Tour,
covering 96 kilometres and
two loops; the Estriade and
its network, covering 56 km
and two loops; Along the
Water, covering the shores of
lakes Memphremagog and
Massawippi, covering a total
of 79 km and two loops; between Sherbrooke and North
Hatley, covering 51 km and
one loop; the Coaticook Valley, covering 106.5 km and
two loops; and the Grand
Tour of Lake Megantic, covering 55 km and one loop.
A complete map can be
downloaded from easterntownships.org, where you
will find the following information on every circuit: the
length and difficulty rate,
bends in the road, nearby
towns and their main attractions, and symbols indicating what services can be
obtained. It also indicates if
the route is a cycling trail or
a regular road. Finally, it is
also possible to check out
neighbouring tourist attractions, whether it’s honey or
wine or cheese, or something else altogether.
Ever since the launch of
the Chef Créateurs network,
customers can see which
restaurants have committed
to using only local produce
in their dishes. The same
goes for the Café de village
association, which guarantees that café members incorporate local products
such as organic apples or
local honey in their fare as
well as prepare cultural activities.
On the back of the map,
you can find a diagram of
the Eastern Townships, the
six top circuits, the Route
Verte network, an overview
of all 11 annual cycling
events, as well as a list of the
Créateurs de saveurs restaurants peppering the region.
