This typical French-Canadian hamlet, largely composed of raftsmen and lumber-jacks, lies at the junction of the Gatineau and Ottawa rivers. A pretty view of it is obtained from the Driveway where it winds through Rockcliffe Park. In seasons of high water in the Ottawa, the lower parts of the little village, and also many suburban residences, are frequently flooded, and boats are rowed ever the streets. The spire of the little French church is a striking object in the landscape.
