If you're looking for more
than a few days of well-deserved rest, here are a few suggestions.
Those who are familiar with
the writings of Bouctouche's own Antonine Maillet will certainly want to
visit "Le pays de la Sagouine"
to
see her characters come alive and have a look into Acadian life in the
past. Across the street from the Auberge you will find the county
museum, complete with chapel and historic implements. Saturday
mornings through the summer months the town centre is abuzz with the
Farmers' Market.

Then there is the
Maury winery, the
Eco-centre Irving, the
golf course, our walking
and biking trails, some passing through the Irving Arboretum, others
winding over the Bouctouche River.
At the Eco-centre, there
is the boardwalk (2 kms long) ,
an interpretation centre, an observation tower to have a better look at
P.E.I., and of course, the sandy beach and the warm Northumberland
Straight water! There is a mini-putt just two minutes past the Dune.

There are antique shops,
artists' galleries, artist-for-a-day workshops to be arranged, and
pottery shops. You can
make your own
beach glass
jewelery. The well-known
Olivier Soapery (soap factory), complete with a tour and a free
humorous presentation, is just down the road.
Kouchibouguac
National Park is a short drive away -- they rent bicycles or cross
country skis in the winter. In the same
 area
you can arrange an excursion to
observe the bears in their own environ-ment.
Or head to the University
of Moncton to visit the Acadian museum and
university gallery to see what
Acadian artists are exhibiting.
Continue onto the Hopewell Rocks
(about a 45-minute drive),
Cape Enrage and Fundy National Park. |
