July 24 - Arrival at Auberge de Manoir Dauth

What a great welcoming at our bed and breakfast.  Our bikes were parked in the new bike stable. (Note the hay on the wall and the welcoming greeting in French)

The visitor's center was still open and we learned all about ice fishing in Saint-Anne-de-la Parade. This town is the Tommycod capital of the world. Over 130,000 ice fishermen and their families come to fish for small cod in the Saint-Anne River. Over five hundred houses are moved to the ice, used for indoor fishing with a line and a hole.
