Join Claudine and Denis in New France! We’ve got a lot on our plates: tending the vegetable garden, planting seeds, making visits… And whether we travel by canoe or on foot, we do it all in song! Come and have fun, play small instruments, sing and dance with us to the sound of the hurdy-gurdy and the fiddle.
