A magnificent wooden covered bridge, still in operation. Covered bridges are an example of how people adapt to the harsh Quebec winter. It spans the Bulstrode River, which rises high above in the Saint-Fortunat area. A little historical note: 35,000 years ago (that was yesterday in geological terms!), the Bulstrode River was a powerful river that flowed into the Champlain Sea a few kilometers below. It, along with glaciers, formed the valley you can explore by taking the "Au pays des virevents" loop.
