Saint-Léonard-d'Aston, Quebec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint-Léonard-d'Aston is a municipality in Nicolet-Yamaska RCM in the Centre-du-Québec region of Quebec, Canada. The municipality is situated along Route 155, partway between Drummondville and Trois-Rivières. Autoroute 20 and a major intercity railway line operated by VIA Rail also cross through the town. Until the completion of the northern branch of Autoroute 55 in October 2006, Saint-Léonard-d'Aston was a common waypoint for those who travelled between Trois-Rivières and Sherbrooke. Along Autoroute 20, on the Rang du Moulin-Rouge, there stands an impressive structure called the Manoir Bigfoot—also known as the Restaurant Madrid—which is notable for its bizarre decorations: large monster trucks parked outside next to a line of larger-than-life statues of dinosaurs.
