Hello folks! It's me again, still trying to get this blog up to date with Lighthouses I've visited so far this spring. This entry is going to focus on two lighthouses that you would see driving down the French Shore along the Evangeline Trail.
Belliveau Cove Lighthouse is another small one, standing approximately 6.7 meteres high. It sits at the end of the wharf that is visible from the main road and you can easily drive out to the wharf park your car and then walk out to the Lighthouse.
It is a really nice place to stop, especially on the week-ends and during the summer as there is a large Farmer's Market nearby that you can visit and enjoy.
Next on the list was the
Church Point Lighthouse. Located on the grounds of the Université Sainte-Anne campus. This Light is no longer in use and is in very rough shape, but it's in a good area and there are lots of neat things around to see that it is worth the trip.
I was pleasently surprised to see how "Green" the Campus was. Their own water treatment, power windmill and solar pannels on all of the buildings.... it definitely was inspiring and nice to see a school taking on that kind of initiative in helping our environment.
Just posting a few random points of Interest, there are some beautiful Churches in the area while driving to see these Lights. The first one you will come to is a big and beautiful stone one called L'Eglise St-Bernard.
The next you will see is Saint Mary's Church.... it is North America's Tallest Wooden Church with a Steeple that reaches 56 meteres high. Not only is it amazing for that major fact, but it's a pretty nice looking church also. This Church is located next to the Université Sainte-Anne campus.
If you are looking for more info on either of these lighthouses follow the links I posted with their names or visit Lighthouse Friends.
Happy Travels
