Friends of the Richelieu. A river. A passion.



"Tout cedit pays est fort uny, remply de forests, vignes & noyers. Aucuns Chrestiens n'estoient encores parvenus jusques en cedit lieu, que nous, qui eusmes assez de peine à monter le riviere à la rame. " Samuel de Champlain


"All this region is very level and full of forests, vines and butternut trees. No Christian has ever visited this land and we had all the misery of the world trying to paddle the river upstream." Samuel de Champlain

The Power of the State

Above: from the cover page of local newspaper

"When you encounter the implacable power of the state it`s a deeply destabilising moment. In an ordinary life it happens very rarely - maybe never, maybe once or twice, but your individual being, your individual nature, seems suddenly worth nothing - you feel expendable - and that`s what frightens you, fundamentally, that`s what makes your bowels loosen." - William Bayo, Sweet Caress
