As it was on the way, I passed by the University, so it's an opportunity to touch a few words. The campus is approximately 1 km ² (excluding the schedule of Longueuil, located near Montreal). It reminds me very much the campus of the science faculty of Nantes. Several groups of buildings separated by large areas of greenery. Suffice to say that the setting is very pleasant, and more at the moment there are lots of flowers.
There is also an underground network connecting the buildings. Practice in winter, but we can no longer murky summer ...
Once on the edge of the forest (Mount being a park and a forest park, or vice versa), I just had to follow the path. There's no muddy trails overgrown, I could make a pretty fair turn along a gravel road in perfect condition. Some challenges! Well, actually, there are still small muddy trails with all the bumps and roots, but they are specially made for mountain biking (it is signposted). Still parks here are really well maintained, the evidence:
Finally, in 2 hours, I could see the luminous cross (a cross on a hill? I have a strange feeling of deja view), seeing a squirrel zebra and two deer, make 2 / 3 of the main path, find the top (without having to use the algorithms during meta heuristic!) and make a bunch of breaks to swallow raspberries.
By the way, I finally found a picture on Sherbrooke
You will notice that there are no skyscrapers. This is also why many Quebecers love this city. There are all the comforts major cities while being close to nature and away from the stress and overactivity of Montreal (I'm just transpose what I mean eh;)).
Finally, a satellite view for better viewing:
PS: And super bonus, a wallpaper made in Sherbrooke. :)
