In addition to their considerable heritage value, covered bridges have a way of lending a certain cachet to any landscape. There’s no doubt about it, these bridges offer us magical settings and wonderful views. It’s not surprising that they’re also known as “kissing bridges”! And here’s the good news: the Outaouais region has its share of covered bridges, each one as charming as the next. Get your camera ready!

There, you’ll have the chance to take in the most famous and popular viewpoint in Gatineau Park, yes, nothing less!

In my book, travel is synonymous with unsuspected encounters, authentic experiences and stories that will forever remain etched in my memory. The most beautiful in all of this? No need to fly 10 hours by plane to get a taste of it! Getting out of my comfort zone and discovering my Outaouais sounds good to me.
