I'm a huge Louise Penny fan. Since you're reading this, chances are you are too, or else you will be soon hopefully. I've read and reread all her books and can't say enough good things about them.
But this blog isn't all about the books. It's about the place. Based on real life streets, towns, and landmarks mentioned in the books that exist in Quebec, I'm taking a week's vacation this June to try to find Three Pines.
While I have it on good authority that it's a fictional town, I'm sure, at the very least, that I'll have a great time looking.
Mostly I'm writing this blog for my very good friend and Louise Penny Fan Club cohort who couldn't come with me because she recently got some fabulously incredible job. She really needs to reconsider her priorities. Anyway, this is for you, Friend. Consider it a practice tour.
I'm buffing up on my French and making my reservations. The tour begins in four weeks. Stay tuned.
My one week whirlwind tour of select Quebec sites based on Louise Penny's Three Pines mysteries
I love three pines!! Though I grieve not being with physically with you on this amazing adventure, I am accompanying you in spirit. Go forth, my good friend, and immerse yourself in all things three pines!!
ReplyDeleteI too Julie am a huge fan of the series. I am currently on my 3rd time rereading the entire cannon (and think I am going to cry at the end of the 10th book!). Anywho, I was inspired to create a few items on Zazzle as a result. Tried to do something for each individual character but couldn't find a foothold to all of them. But here are the ones I did manage. Thought you might be interested. Thanks.
