The Appalachian Mountains extend into this area. The picture below doesn't do them justice. I couldn't stop where I would have liked to for the photo. Anyway, they are very old mountains that are worn off and mostly covered with trees although I did see some exposed rock in places.
I came across this quaint covered bridge and stopped to take a look. I tried to take a picture of the floor inside because it sagged quite a bit on either side of the support under the middle. It was used regularly and was not meant as a tourist attraction alone. There were tire burn marks in the wooden floor which I assumed were put there by people wanting to hear the tires squeal inside the structure.
It was interesting to see the different land survey system. Similar to the Seigneurial system where farms are long strips of land, each of them fronting on the river, the farmhouses in the countryside all fronted on the road with the farming running in long strips away from the house. This photo shows that a bit.
There were 2 distinctive types of roof shapes in this area of Quebec.

| Can you see how the edge of the roof flips up a little bit? |

| Variations on this Hip Roof style were seen on lots of houses |
