Montebello, a historic village with a unique flavour
Heritage, culture and gourmet pleasures along the river
Montebello charms from the very first glance, with its rich heritage, warm welcome and atmosphere that's both authentic and contemporary. Here, history rubs shoulders with modernity, creating a living environment that leaves no one indifferent.
Dominating the landscape, the famous Fairmont Le Château Montebello is the world's largest log cabin. It's the epitome of rustic elegance and Canadian hospitality. Nearby, the Manoir Papineau National Historic Site plunges you into the world of Louis-Joseph Papineau, a key figure in our history. To extend the experience, take the Heritage Tour and discover the village's hidden treasures on foot, at your own pace.
The Château Montebello Golf Club offers a renowned course, nestled between hills and forests, for a refined sporting getaway. At the marina, boaters can enjoy privileged access to the Ottawa River, perfect for a nautical stopover or a trip on the water. Montebello is proudly associated with Les Chemins d'eau, the tourist route linking the Outaouais' river jewels.
Montebello also appeals to gourmets. Stop by the Économusée Chocomotive, savor the artisanal cheeses of Fromagerie Montebello, and stop by Boucherie Montebello VTM for a taste of local produce. The culinary scene is rounded out by a fine selection of restaurants with local and international flavors.
A cradle of creativity, Montebello attracts many artists who find it an inspiring environment. The Centre d'action culturelle de la MRC de Papineau plays an essential role in the cultural life of the village and the region, offering exhibitions, events and workshops accessible to all.
