South of Autoroute 10, on Hwy 243, is the township of Lac Brome, made up of seven former English Loyalist villages. The main village of Knowlton is one of the most interesting and picturesque: its main street is lined with restored Victorian buildings, including many craft and gift shops. A favorite meal in this area is Lac Brome duck, which shows up frequently on the better menus and is celebrated with the town’s annual Canard en Fête festival.
