Dear Pierre,
According to the shapefile data, Lake Champlain, and hence
Venise-en-Québec are above the 30 m elevation. The shapefile contains
punctual elevations of 31 m in this area (Plage Missisquoi, for
example). The next contour line would be the 40 m one, but it does not
look like it would be very useful for this.
Best regards,
Jean-Guilhem
