Over the next two days, you are joined by a local guide from Three Pines Tours.  How many of these places do you feel you already know from the twenty Chief Inspector Gamache novels?  Visit Manoir Bellechasse, the elegant lakeside estate from “A Rule Against Murder”.   In real life, the beautiful Manoir Hovey has been welcoming guests for well over a century.   Tour the Haskell Free Library & Opera House.  This stunning landmark – built on the international border – is a long-lasting symbol of the friendship between our two nations as it continues to serve the area’s cultural needs.   Also stop at St. George’s Anglican Church and the J.B. LeBaron General Store, the inspiration for St. Thomas Church and Monsieur Beliveau’s General Store from “The Cruellest Month”.  (Breakfast, Lunch)
