Covered bridges are literally part of our history.
Savoyard Covered Bridge
Named after the family of pioneer Amable Savoyard, it spans 103 meters over the “great eddies” of the Gatineau River. Of an elaborate Town type, it was built in 1931 and was extensively restored in the summer of 2011. Nearby are lookouts and interpretation panels on the log drive which allow you to appreciate the view of the river as a connoisseur.
