Where to sleep?

Not escaping the new Vanlife phenomenon, the Mégantic region and its famous Route des Sommets were taken by storm! If the vanlifeur experience is different from one person to another, the reaction of surprise was also very different from one citizen of Granit to another, and even from one tourist actor to another! Understanding the sudden interest in the various rest stops, it was necessary to grasp the situation and respond to this new demand!
