Cap-Sante is a very beautiful old canadian town, approximately 30 minutes outside of Quebec, and is comprised of several old houses dating back to the late 1800's to the early 1900's. Like most towns in this era the church is the focal point of the town, and is very beautiful too. Mitch (Michelles) says that not many people go to church anymore so the chruches have a hard time paying for upkeep. in this case the church door was locked. Micth also said the pews are straight 90 degree angles and were very uncomfortable - I guess thats the throwback to the 1800's when they wanted you to stay awake during sermons....
Like any area that has lots of room, and hasn't been developed there is a quaintness and charming feel to the houses.

My mothers grandfather was from Cap-Sante and
his name was John Baptiste Germain.
I was wondering where I could maybe get some information on him.
His son moved to Massachusetts where he unfortunately died when my mother was 13 so I never met him.
What a wonderful quaint town and thank-you for the pictures.
