In 1613, Champlain made his first excursion through the "upper
country" up the Ottawa River to Īle aux Allumettes. He hoped
to find the passageway to the northern sea that would lead
to the riches of Asia. What he found was a completely different
treasure. one for you to discover!
Over the next three hundred years, many Quebecers followed
Champlain's footsteps and settled in Eastern Ontario on this
rich and beautiful land covered by incredible forests. From
the 250,000 Francophones from Hawkesbury to Pembroke that
welcome you with smiling faces to majestic Mattawa that has
scarcely changed since Champlain's passage, you are sure to
have an enriching experience.
