Cap-au-Renard
As we climbed up the main street of Cap-au-Renard, looking as if we were emerging from under the ocean (or the sky?), I stopped to talk to Gilles Morin in his front yard. Gilles' 125-year-old house was once the village church, then the village school. Then Gilles' father-in-law bought it and raised ten children there. Gilles met his future wife at the copper mines in Murdochville. They got married, moved back to Cap-au-Renard, and added new rooms onto both the front and rear of the historic family homestead.
