The New York Times recently featured a дом на продажу near the village of Knowlton в облаÑти, извеÑтной как Квебек ВоÑточные Городки.
СоглаÑно Времена ÑтатьÑ, “The housing stock in the Eastern Townships is mostly old farms that have been converted to weekend estates or small hobby farms….The area is popular as a second-home destination with New Englanders.”

And if you’re partial to good wines, hearty bistro cooking, и меÑтные Ñыры, this francophone influence is a good thing.
…The Eastern Townships’ largest city is Шербрук, об Ñтом 150 Каждый канадец знает (95 км) к воÑтоку от ÐœÐ¾Ð½Ñ€ÐµÐ°Ð»Ñ Ð²Ð´Ð¾Ð»ÑŒ шоÑÑе 10. Ð’ противном Ñлучае, the communities here, Ð’ том чиÑле Магог, Knowlton, и Саттон, довольно маленькие.
