Vallée-de-la-Gatineau

The Vallée-de-la-Gatineau region enjoys a rich heritage full of many memories. It is tinged with a happy blend of cultures, history and traditions intimately linked to a nature abundant with forests, lakes, rivers and mountains. Vallée-de-la-Gatineau is the birthplace of log driving which gained all its meaning here and embodied its most noble character with the presence of the majestic Gatineau River.

This richness which characterises our region has fed our collective memory with numerous tales and legends – including the feats of Jos Montferrand and the famous Chasse-galerie – which have contributed to shape the history of our region, which now exceeds our frontiers and transcends the imagination of people from Quebec.
