EVANGELINE
As you follow the North Cape Coastal Drive, you will enter La Région Évangéline, a coastal area rich in natural scenery and Acadian culture. Its people will proudly share their language, music, joie de vivre and food.

If you have been waiting to experience a fresh Island lobster, wait no longer. How about a mouth-watering lobster dinner or Acadian style buffet at the Centre Expo-Festival in Abram-Village or a lobster picnic by the Cap-Egmont wharf? Strike up a conversation with a fisher at one of the two local wharves. Take a stroll along the coastline. Discover nature’s treasures in the sand. Be amazed by the magnitude of the sunsets on the sea!

La Région Évangéline is synonymous to lively rhythms, especially during several festivals held throughout the summer. Local musicians and dancers know how to throw a party! Join in and learn to dance a jig!

In addition to the remarkable churches and unique shops featuring handcrafted delights, all rich with a proud history, you will want to visit The Bottle Houses in Cap-Egmont. Here you will find three life-size buildings made up of over 30,000 recycled glass bottles as well as splendid flower gardens. Be sure to have your camera ready!

Why not experience the best in Acadian hospitality by spending a night or two at one of the delightful accommodations in the area including L’Hôtel Village sur l’océan? Situated opposite the beachfront with a breathtaking view of the ocean, you will be treated to complete resort amenities, including heated pool, lounge, gift shop, restaurant, beach and local entertainment.

As you continue along, be sure to stop in at the Visitor Information Centre in Mount Pleasant to gather more information on the North Cape Coastal Drive.
