I met Jacques in Bordeaux in 2015. The photo on the right was in Bordeaux and the photo on the left was taken in St-Emilion where we went for a visit. In a few days you will see another photo of Jacques. Don't hesitate to visit his gallery. He had wonderful photos of many places including Quebec. And like me he loves nature.
Geography and geology
Jacques-Cartier National Park is located in the Laurentian Mountains along the Jacques-Cartier River valley, to the west of Quebec Route 175. Jacques-Cartier is a 30 minutes drive from Québec City. Grands-Jardins National Park is located to the northeast of the park, while the Laurentian Wildlife Reserve is located to the north. The park is also located near the Canadian Forces military base CFB Valcartier.
The park contains several glacial landforms such as drumlins and moraine. The most prominent glacial landform in Jacques-Cartier National Park is the Jacques-Cartier Valley (French:Vallée de la Jacques-Cartier). The U-shaped valley is 550 metres (1,804 ft) deep and was formed during the last glacial period.
Flora and fauna
Female moose inside the park.
The plateau consists mainly of coniferous trees such as the black spruce, while the valley consists mainly of deciduous trees such as sugar maple and yellow birch. The invasive Japanese knotweed has also appeared in the park's boundaries.
The wildlife is typical of a boreal forest. Animals that can be found in the park include moose, caribou, white-tailed deer, gray wolf, red fox, the Canada lynx, the black bear, river otter, porcupine and the Canadian beaver. Atlantic salmon, brook trout and the Arctic char can be found in the lakes and in the Jacques-Cartier river. The park is also visited by more than 100 species of birds.

Toss a coin to your whipper!
Inspiration from the tiktok star Jacques Ze Whipper. A highly talented circus performer.
That and I just wanted an excuse to break out this whip
Like many of the restaurants in my area Jacques begins an outdoor service in the spring when weather starts to get warmer. They do a good business in the summer months but in the Fall when the cooler weather arrives, the tables and chairs are put away and the waitstaff moves indoors. To me it has become the urban equivalent of the change in color and eventual falling of the leaves-- a marker of the passing seasons.
JARDIN MAJORELLE
Jacques Majorelle,son of celebrated furniture maker LOUIS MAJORELLE,was born in Nancy,France in 1886.It was in 1919 that he first come to Marrakech to continue his career as a painter.
He acquired land in 1924 and began the landscape which is today known as the Majorelle Garden.In 1947 he opened the garden to the public,a tradition that continues to this day.Following a car accident in 1962,Jacques Majorelle reteurned to France and shortly thereafter passed away.
The Majorelle Garden is one of the twentieth cantury`s most mysterious gardens.It is a place of rare individual expression and mystical force.The garden is an abundance of vegtal shapes and forms representing five continents and reflects Jacques Majorelle`s significance as one of the most important plant collectors of his time.
A great capture of the colored and enchanting garden !
And the story goes on in 1980 when Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé bought the Majorelle garden and thus saved it from a hotel project. The new owners decide to live in the villa of the artist, renamed Villa Oasis and undertake important restoration work. The flora of the garden is largely increased today. Died on June 1, 2008 in Paris, Yves Saint Laurent’s ashes were scattered in the rose garden of the villa.
A "must-see" .
