they were evicted by the British and scattered across North America, some of them had to go...
...to Saint David, Maine in 1785, where the first French-speaking settlement took shape,
it has been recreated now in the village we see here, all I could do was gape.
The houses were moved from all over the place,
and carefully restored, it was not a race;
what we see today, is as it was then,
right down to the cattle, and the old mother hen.
The La Route Culterelle de la Valle St-Jean, or, The Saint John Valley Scenic Byway starts here.
Middle: One of the houses - it has been restored now.
Bottom: The Village as it is today.
