Merci, Tacoma!
We did book a studio there. I called the resort to get more info and the woman who answered was bilingual. I speak a little French and hope our time at Lac Morency will enhance my vocabulary especially since we will be spending 8 nights in France later this year!
Enroute we will spend a night outside Ottawa and hope to see the changing of the guard the next morning. A day trip to Montreal is a definite as are drives to the villages you mentioned. And we will be there July 1st to join in the Canada Day celebrations!
