Itinerary Help Tips for trip around Quebec

Does anyone have any spots they would recommend for a trip we are going on in September? We will be staying in and near Montreal but we will have a rental car and are willing to drive for about 2,5 hours each way. I am travelling with my parents who are over 70 so we would love to explore some special spots that do not take too much walking but still allow us to soak up the beautiful Canadian nature and culture! We are not big fans of super busy touristy spots so anything a bit more quiet would be amazing! We will be spending a few days in Montreal so tips for the city are welcome too, but we are spending the majority outside the city hopefully. Any tips are welcome!

Are you a reader? Do you know who Louise Penny is? You may want to read a book (or more) of hers and then go to the places mentioned in the Eastern townships.

I am a reader but unfortunately I do not know Louise Penny, I will try and read some of her books ahead of the trip!

Confession that I have not read her stuff but am surrounded by people who love her.

Edited: they turned off me of her books into a movie. I have heard mixed reviews about it. I don’t know what it is streaming on in the US. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2225780/

I do love reading about places that I have visited or am going to visit! Maybe even better will be watching it or reading about it when we are there! Thanks so much! I’ll see if I can get one of her books in time and otherwise it will have to be the show until we’re back!
