Hotels in Monteregie and Cantons-de-l'Est

Magog -- There are a number of modest B&Bs and small hotels in Magog along the blocks of rue Merry, immediately north and south of its intersection with the main street, rue Principale. Association des Gîtes Touristiques Magog-Orford (www.bbmagogorford.com) has a membership of 20 B&Bs accredited by the province. Tourisme Cantons-de-l'Est (tel. 800/355-5755; fax 819/566-4445; www.easterntownships.org) maintains an updated directory of these and other options. Consider the hostel at the auberge at Centre d'Arts Orford.

North Hatley -- Note that while the two full-service inns listed won't refuse children, they do have serious dining rooms that can test youngsters' patience. Other meal arrangements should be made for children 12 and younger.
