Between the city and nature

The Outaouais region is uniquely fortunate to have a lush green oasis right in the heart of the city: Gatineau Park. Starting from the city of the same name, head to the Étienne-Brûlé lookout to admire the Ottawa River, then explore the charming villages of Chelsea—home to numerous art galleries and gourmet spots—and Wakefield, with its magnificent covered bridge.

You’ll spend your last day taking a ride through Gatineau Park. In the Outaouais region, you’re sure to find happiness on two wheels!
