New Tourist Bureau for the Monteregie

As of March this year, we have a new Tourist Bureau in Brossard for the Monteregie.  According to a tourism brochure we received in the mail box on Friday afternoon, the tourist bureau is offering a map of all the cycle paths in the Monteregie.  What a great idea!  I bought a book published by La Route Verte a couple of years ago, but it's not terribly useful as it focuses only on their paths and does not integrate the numerous municipal paths into La Route Verte maps.  La Route Verte has done a great job managing the paths (although a bit more signage at certain junctions would be helpful), but their maps leave a lot to be desired.  I'm hoping that Monteregie maps offered by the Tourist bureau will combine the two together well...so, yesterday, I cycled over to their new tourist bureau near the dix30 shopping center and discovered that it is closed on weekends!  Seems rather odd that a tourist bureau would be closed on the two days that most people would be out and about.  Will return nect week during office hours to see what they have.
