L'Anse aux Meadows and the Northern Peninsula
Extreme north of Newfoundland where a Viking site faces the Strait of Belle Isle and the icebergs.
L'Anse aux Meadows, Norstead and Pointe Riche Lighthouse give the most telling landmarks of L'Anse to the Meadows and Northern Peninsula. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
Vedi tutto
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 different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Must-see place
L'Anse aux Meadows
The Anse aux Meadows preserves the traces of a northern settlement on an open coast of the Northern Peninsula. Relics of peat buildings, reconstructions and moorland landscapes give a very concrete presence to this ancient contact between navigators from Europe and North American shores.
Must-see place
Norstead
Norstead prolongs the Nordic history by a reconstituted village where you can see forge, long house, workshops and boat inspired by Viking traditions. Interest is due to demonstrations and exchanges with the interpreters, who make everyday gestures more meaningful than just a window.
Culture and heritage
Pointe Riche Lighthouse
The Pointe Riche Lighthouse is located near Port au Choix, in an open limestone, moorland and sea setting. Around the site, the coastal trails and traces of ancient occupation tell a peninsula long used for its marine resources.
Must-see place
Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve
Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve Protects a landscape of exposed limestone, cold winds and tiny plants adapted to almost arctic conditions. The place speaks to travellers attentive to details: rare flowers at ground level, pale rocks, marine horizon and world end impression.
