Day 1: the essentials
Start with the key stops. Day one covers the main sights in an order that doesn't waste steps.
A la Memoire des Patriotes de 1837
A la Memoire des Patriotes de 1837 is one of those Granby landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Day 2: go deeper
Day two goes deeper: the additional sights, plus a slower morning.
Morts au Champ d’Honneur
Don't skip Morts au Champ d’Honneur. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Otterburn Park Second World War Memorial
Otterburn Park Second World War Memorial is one of those Granby landmarks worth seeing in person. Fold it into the afternoon when the light is good and the pace can relax.
Evenings
Both nights deserve a proper ending. If the calendar cooperates, a live event beats a bar; if not, dinner somewhere lively does the job.
