If you know Louise Penney’s Armond Gamache murder mysteries, you may have read Bury Your Dead, where the formerly French and still francophone city takes a star turn. Taking much-needed R and R in the city, Gamache gets roped into the case when a body purported to be that of the city’s founder, the 16th-century French explorer Samuel de Champlain, turns up in a subbasement of the Literary and Historical Society. Leads take him to the Plains of Abraham, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian, Château Frontenac and quite a few local eateries (food plays a leading role in Penney’s mysteries). Fascinated the way Penney wrote the historical record of these people and places into her book, I made a list of every landmark and locale in the book. By my count, there were 42. The city is postcard pretty, too, so it wasn’t a tough choice when Barb and I were looking for someplace relatively close to spend a quiet week. Naturally, I had to see in person every place on my list. Some of the 39 I found you’ll see in the gallery below.
