I think that everyone appreciates nature and the beauty that it gives us. Nature brings us peace, quiet and some alone time or family time for a walk. We all admire the view of nature and the colors of nature that are more than amazing. Well, Gatineau, in Ottawa has an exquisite and unique nature, something very special. This city has so much to offer, from the museums, architecture, sports, good food, but nature… it is mind-blowing. For all of you that love nature, this is the perfect place for you. The most beautiful park, Gatineau Park. Never hesitate when nature is in question.

The Park is located in the Outaouais region of Quebec. It is a 361 km/139 square meters, a wedge of land extending in the north and west from the city of Gatineau. A huge park, the beauty is exquisite, and the park includes parts of the municipalities of Chelsea, Pontiac, Le Peche and the City of Gatineau. But the main entrance to the park is in the north of downtown Ottawa, Ontario.
