^^ Excellent!

My neighbor, Jean (87 yrs), has an original copy of the magazine that this was printed in!

I don't have a good memory for jokes, but this one has always stuck in my mind. It's a classic!

You must know that as you enter the island, there's a tourist information booth on your right. That's your first stop. That's the way you're turning anyways to get to Ste. Petronille. I even think there's a Vineyard that produce their own wine a couple of kilometers from there. True though that May is not peak season and some places may not be open... but you must have gotten a better deal on that apartment.

Yes, there's a vinyard on the short stretch between the bridge intersection and Ste. Petronille. I've "driven" a lot of the Chemin Royale with Streetview.

We got a low season rate at La Goeliche, yes. We would have gone later in the summer, though, if it had been possible. Still, we're hoping that we'll get some nice late-spring weather and the leaves will be out.

Here's the kind of thing that Streetview shows... click to enlarge...

You can "travel" any street or highway in clicks of about (I'd estimate) 50 to 300 m intervals, and also do a 360* view at any spot. Amazing stuff.

The church at St. Famille and a related ancestry building may be the best bet for finding family connections.
