ELORA: Ontario’s MOST PICTURE-PERFECT Town! 🍁✨

Step into a real-life fairy tale in Elora, Ontario—where 19th-century limestone buildings meet turquoise gorge waters and storybook charm.
We also drove our Citroen 2CV out for a spin to explore Elora, a quiet scenic town.

Cruising the back roads in a classic French car is the perfect way to see a hidden gem in Ontario. We enjoyed the beautiful views and the charm of the small town.
