Ile d'Orleans is a pretty island in the St. Lawrence River, a short 15 minute drive from Quebec City. This fertile piece of land is an important source of fresh produce for Quebec City and is known as the "Garden of Quebec". We took a leisurely drive around the island, stopping occasionally to stroll, take pics, shop at a bakery and enjoy a picnic. The island is getting ready to "hibernate" for the winter at this time of year but we nonetheless found it to be very beautiful - it must be sensational in summer (though somewhat more congested with tourists.
Sorry for the lack of much meaningful commentary, but I really didn't know much about what I was seeing and just took the opportunity to enjoy the visual delights.
