This itinerary in Outaouais explores a part of Canadian history and shows just how close nature and the city are to one another. You can also enjoy a close-up view of certain animals that inhabit our boreal forest. The deer come so near you can even feed them. They love carrots!

Unforgettable moments
Regions
Indigenous cultures and pristine nature
The trip begins with a cultural stop at the Canadian Museum of History, whose architecture alone is worth seeing. On the program: impressive exhibitions, history of the First Nations and the Children’s Museum, where little ones can have loads of fun.
Just a stone’s throw away from the Canadian Museum of History is the Gatineau Park. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic, biking, swimming, or hiking through the 361 km2 of hills and forests. There’s even a cave to be explored.
A spa and relaxation day
Nordik Spa-Nature is North America’s largest spa: ten outdoor baths and nine saunas. Begin the day with a Källa treatment, in a seawater floating pool, or a Banyä treatment, a festive Russian experience!
After being pampered, head to the heart of the Gatineau Park to discover the Wakefield Mill Hotel & Spa. This combination hotel, restaurant and spa allows you to experience the comfort and history of an old flour mill dating from 1838.
A day in Montebello: wildlife and fine living
We head to Parc Oméga for a photo safari among Québec wildlife. As you drive along in your car, you’ll be able to observe bison, wapitis, bears, fallow deer, white-tailed deer and boars roaming freely. At night, you can even sleep with the wolves!
Québec is home to the world’s largest log hotel, the Fairmont Le Château Montebello. This rustic and luxurious hotel serves up a fine-dining experience. Over 40 activities are offered, including a spa. What better way to end the day?
