General presentation
Windsor et pointe Pelée
Southern banks, marshes and urban heritage surround the southernmost continental point of Canada.
Point Pelee National Park, Marsh Boardwalk and Windsor Sculpture Park provide the most telling landmarks of Windsor and Point Pelee. Together, they form a destination where urban life, shores and lakes, wetlands and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national de la Pointe-Pelée
A narrow tongue of earth moves through Lake Erie to the southernmost point in continental Canada. Trails, beach and shuttles allow you to pass from marshes to great horizons, with spectacular activity during bird migrations.
Place indismissible
Marsh Boardwalk
A stilt bridge crosses the shallow reeds and waters of the Great Marsh of Pointe-Pelee. From the tower and the platforms, turtles, birds and water lilies are observed without disturbing this fragile environment.
Nature and landscape
Windsor Sculpture Park
Monumental works mark the bank of the Windsor facing Detroit skyscrapers. The walk combines contemporary art, river views and striking contrast between two countries separated by a few hundred meters.
Nature and landscape
Pelee Island
Pelee Island mix vineyards, beaches, woods and marshes in the middle of Lake Erie, in the extreme south of Canada. The bike allows you to make a quiet tour and connect nature reserves, lighthouses and small agricultural estates.
