Why You Should Go...

Quebec’s fourth largest city, Gatineau is a prime destination with its 300 kilometres of bike paths, its gourmet restaurants, and its prime location near Ottawa.

In the Collines-de-l’Outaouais, outdoor enthusiasts flock to magnificent Gatineau Park and its 361?km2 of forests and hills.

In Petite Nation, visit a wildlife park with your family to meet native Canadian animals, or book a stay in the world’s largest log castle.

The Gatineau Valley is an angler’s delight, with the highest concentration of outfitters in the Outaouais. Head to the Pontiac to discover the rich history of the local logging industry or to go rafting on the rushing waters of the Ottawa River.
