Yoga beside a mountain lake? Why not do it in Canada!!!During my daily travels on the Metro and RER, I have come across a few more Travel Canada advertisements. The billboards always make me laugh as they depict Canada as a land of leisure activities, outdoor pursuits, and classic evenings. I guess for the French tourist, it is a pretty good draw as Paris, although a beautiful and enchanting city, is still a city of more then 10 million people living in the greater metropolitan area combined with an annual 30 million visitors. Believe me, it can get a little crowded. The wide open spaces and natural settings of Canada represent an escape to nature.
Anyway, although I can see the Canadian in the pictures, it is definetly not the Canada I know, especially at this time of year. So if you see someone in your town looking lost like a tourist and speaking french, maybe they are looking for the yoga spot in the mountains or that sail boat to lounge on...after all, this is what Travel Canada is selling.
It's all about the sailboat.
