General presentation
Montebello et Petite-Nation
Rural Outaouais territory bringing together seigneurial heritage, North American fauna and quiet hills.
Papineau Manor, Omega Park and Plaisance Falls give the most telling landmarks of Montebello and Petite-Nation. Together, they form a destination where riverscapes, forests, heritage and wildlife observation meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
