Ste. Adele
Like most Laurentian towns during the winter,
this small lakeside village, some 45 minutes north of Montreal, is a ski haven.
In the summer months, the serene lake makes
way for leisurely boating, and swimming while the adjacent slopes allow good
biking, hiking, and golf.

The Ste. Adele church is a modern
structure but the parish itself has just celebrated its 150th year. |

The houses surrounding the
lake are European and colonial style structures, many of them vacation
houses that aree available for short term stay. |

Flowers and
trees abound at every residence. |

The Hotel Chantecler is a
huge and popular (and expensive) lakeside resort that also operates the
adjacent ski slopes and the golf course. At dusk,
the hotel looks calm and romantic from across the lake. |
Don't be fooled! Gilles
Caplan, the resort's versatile singer, band, DJ, and comedian,
creates a riot at the hotel most weekends. |
