Come aboard the Grand Cru for a gourmet experience

Come aboard the Grand Cru for a gourmet experience

It is now the fashionable Grand Cru on the waters of Lake Memphremagog since Wednesday, May 25

According to Annie Brunelle, Deputy Director General of Memphremagog Getaways, "It was a very delicate operation, the nose should not sting and it should not be too much weight aft. Our naval architect has been very careful. "

"We also had a glitch with the carts on which the boat went on,"she adds. We had to change three of four pairs, which resulted in a delay of two hours. "

The total cost of the project financed by entrepreneur André L'Esperance at $ 10 million. The Grand Cru was finally launched at 20 pm

The first visitors are expected by 15 June.

Cast off routine and dive into one of four outings offered. The cruise starts here.
