Montebello, QC at a Glance
Located east of Gatineau
on the Ottawa
River, approximately half way between Ottawa
and Montreal, Montebello
is a little country village surrounded by the type of impressive Canadian wilderness
made famous in postcards and souvenir photos. The area was first settled in
the mid-19th century by the family of Louis-Joseph Papineau, a man who later
became seigneur of the area and, between 1848 and 1850, built what is now the
Manoir
Papineau National Historic Site. Today the village is best known for Le
Chateau Montebello, the largest log structure ever built. Currently owned
by the Fairmont Hotel chain, the chateau and the neighbouring Fairmont
Kenauk, which is located on a huge protected wilderness area where visitors
can stay in luxury cabins, are at the centre of most of the village's outdoor
pursuits including fishing, hunting, canoeing, hiking and more. Fairmont
le Chateau Montebello Club de Golf is one of the area's three golf courses,
while Omega
Park thrills visitors by giving them the chance to see several species of
wild animals up close.
