Relive the “buzz” of a solar eclipse in pictures

Thousands of people gathered in the Memvremagog area to witness the stunning spectacle of the solar eclipse, which was truly eye-catching yesterday afternoon (April 8).

Many gatherings were organized throughout the territory, such as the Baie-de-Magog Garden, Mont-Orford or the Marais de la Rivière-aux-Cerises. Here are some souvenir photos from that day.
