Gatineau, QC at a Glance
Located across the river from Canada's capital is Gatineau, a city whose culture
and identity is simultaneously distinct from and intertwined with Ottawa's,
making these adjacent municipalities more than just neighbours but part of a greater
Ottawa region. This
vibrant city offers all the culture and sophistication of any French city, from
gourmet dining
to exceptional museums.
Visitors can explore the area's fascinating history at the Mackenzie
King Estate, where Canada's 10th prime minister resided for 50 years, or the
Canadian
Museum of Civilization, which provides insight into Canada's heritage. Casino
du Lac-Leamy, located on the shore of Lac Leamy, is not only an architectural
marvel, but an entertainment haven complete with luxury accommodation and multiple
restaurants and bars. Downtown's Place
Aubry is a popular meeting spot and the site of many summer concerts, while
green spaces can be found throughout the city, offering copious walking trails
and places to picnic.
