Canadian
Sugar House
March 24, 2012
We welcome you to Madame Bernard's family sugar house, a spot we've visited for more than 30 years. Here we'll taste real maple syrup and have a seven-course meal with homemade desserts. We'll then travel to Abbage Cesterceinne at Rougemont and visit the small town of Mr. Gregoire, Marysville. In 1792, the Canadian government, as part of the British Empire, founded by decree a new region known as the Western Townships. Around 1820 the first wave of Irish immigrants settled in the area. A second wave around 1840 included not only Irish but also British and Scottish pioneers. It was not until 1850 that French Canadians settled in the Western Townships.
