The view from Champlain Lookout
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Ottawa
On the way home from our trip to see the old ruins we decided to check out another famous landmark in Gatineau Park, the Champlain Lookout. Have you ever been? It’s a must-see if you ever find yourself in the area, as it affords us ordinary mortals a rare bird’s-eye view of a particularly pretty slice of the world below.
As we approached we saw a young couple leaning over the wall. It’s not a far drop, only a few feet to some grass below, but I never found out what they were looking at.
Related: have you ever heard anyone refer to Champlain Lookout as Belvedere Lookout? Fishies with a smattering of French will know why this is so funny. :)
