Our flight number 0347 from Montreal to Paris.
 At Charles De Gaulle this is our AirbusA380-800. Céline was somewhat apprehensive, calling it the flying fortress. The Airbus A380 is a double deck, four-engine that carries 538 passengers in its smaller configuration (638 in sardine configuration). It is the largest passenger airliner in the world.

Baie des Ha! Ha!

Sunset over La Baie des Ha! Ha!  La Baie is a borough of the city of Saguenay, located where the Riviere a Mars flows into the Baie des Ha! Ha!

The Saguenay River is a major river of Quebec draining into the St Lawrence River at Tadoussac.
The river has a very high flow-rate and is bordered by steep cliffs associated with the Saguenay graben. Tide waters flow in its fjord upriver as far as Chicoutimi (about 100 kilometres). Many Beluga whales breed in the cold waters at its mouth. Greenland sharks also frequent the depths of the fjord, which is at some points 800 ft deep.
