| Finding this place wasn't a fluke. |
It's home for the night after more than 11 hours and nearly 1,100 kilometres on the road. The sun has finally come out at the end of a day painted in blended greys.
So has my French.
Unsurprisingly for us, the auberge hosts a nanobrewery. Out back, picnic tables overlook farm fields that roll up into the mountains, glistening in the distance. It has been a long, but not particularly taxing day. Still, the idyllic setting is a welcome respite.
We've settled around plates of méchoui – Québecois barbeque pork – with gravy, coleslaw and spiced fries. The server arrives with a 9.5% barleywine.
In a pint glass.
The devilish whale, indeed.
