Destination : Acadie des Terres et des Forêts
D'Edmundston à Grand-Sault, Saint-Basile et Saint-Quentin
La grande région du Madawaska est une Acadie des terres et des forêts. Blottie dans les magnifiques vallées de la chaîne des Appalaches, source de la grande rivière Saint-Jean, cette Acadie dont les racines s'étendent au Québec et aux États-Unis reflète aujourd'hui un métissage de cultures acadiennes, amérindiennes, québécoises et américaines.
Crosses de fougères, truites et saumons accompagnent les ployes (crêpes de sarrasin typique de la région) et les pommes de terre, une culture agricole qui a donné naissance à la multinationale McCain.
Visitez le Jardin botanique du N.-B., découvrez les chutes et gorges de Grand-Sault, rencontrez les talents d'ici au spectacle de l'Acadie des Terres et des Forêts en Fête, amusez-vous à la Foire brayonne, mais surtout ne manquez pas le prochain Congrès mondial acadien qui se déroulera du 8 au 24 août 2014.
