Gatineau… The splendour of a harmonious blend of culture and nature!

Tour one or all of the 12 national museums, such as the Canadian Museum of Civilization, a small unique playhouse or a modern theatre and discover the culture that enlivens the people of Gatineau. Hop on the Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield Steam Train, visit the art galleries that adorn the four corners of the city and surrounding areas and, if you feel so inclined, test your luck at the Casino du Lac-Leamy! All throughout the year, you can attend the numerous festivals, breath in the sweet perfume of the tulips, live the magic of the sound and light shows, admire the flight of the hot-air balloons, photograph the fall colours, savour a bite or two of regional cuisine or even celebrate winter in the company of the Ice Hogs!

Touring Gatineau gives you the chance to experience nature’s sublime luxuries! Feel like working your legs? Explore on in-line skates or by bike the impressive network of paved cycling paths that criss-cross the National Capital region and link Outaouais’ urban and countryside areas. Find yourself immersed in the heart of the Gatineau Park and appreciate all that nature has to offer. Enjoy the outdoor pleasures through playing a game of golf or heading out for nice canoe ride. Participate in a country village tour or sit down and enjoy some local fare inspired by the regional produce!

Throughout all seasons, live it in Gatineau!
