North Hatley

The region east of Magog holds its Loyalist connections dear, and this is one of the few areas in QuAİbec where you'll encounter vestiges of the snobbish anglophone attitudes that once pervaded the whole province.
NORTH HATLEY
, a thirty-minute drive east from Magog along Hwy 108, is an anglophone bastion, with boutiques selling Lipton teas, Liberty products, tweeds and Aran jumpers; the resident population steadfastly refuses to change the town's name to "Hatley Nord". Otherwise the village is home to QuAİbec's longest-running English-language theatre,
The Piggery
(tel 819/842-2431 for reservations), which puts on several quality productions throughout the summer, and there are several art galleries and antique shops clustered along the waterfront. A few kilometres northeast, you can visit the underground galleries of an old copper mine at the
Mines Capelton
, 800 Hwy 108 (April-Oct; reserve tours on tel 819/346-9545; $14.95).
The village boasts two of QuAİbec's classiest
inns
: the romantic
Manoir Hovey
(tel 842-2421 or 1-800/661-2421; $125-175), nestled along the lake with its private beach and boats; and
Auberge Hatley
(tel 819/842-2451; $125-175), set on the wooded hillside overlooking the lake and town. Decent
pub food
can be had at either the English-style
Le Pilsen
, 55 rue Principale, with its locally brewed draught and basic meals, or
CafAİ de Lafontaine
, which serves more of the same next door at no. 35. The slightly more expensive but exquisite
Restaurant CafAİ Massawippi
, 3050 chemin Capelton, is open for dinner only. Other useful information
