Apprenez-en davantage sur Côtes acadiennes et Yarmouth

Les côtes acadiennes et Yarmouth sont tranquilles et paisibles, mais elles recèlent de riches aventures. Allez la où la terre rejoint la mer, où les cultures anglo-saxonnes et acadiennes se côtoient et où les nuits obscures sont constellées des étoiles les plus brillantes. Vous y trouverez aussi des mets frais et locaux ainsi que de musiciens!

La région fait partie de la première destination certifiée par l’International Starlight Foundation. On la surnomme « ciels acadiens et terres mi’kmaq ». Les nuits y sont si sombres que les étoiles de galaxies lointaines y brillent comme nulle part ailleurs.
