At Lansdowne Park, wooden chalets line up under the garlands. Artisans sell handmade decorations and holiday treats, the air smells of cinnamon, and one cup of mulled wine is enough to warm your fingers. The Ottawa Christmas Market feels like a European village, without crossing the Atlantic.
The first afternoon starts at the ByWard Market, with its shops and restaurants. The next day, a local guide shows you Gatineau and then Ottawa, across the river, before the afternoon at the Christmas market. Both evenings are spent at the Lac-Leamy Hotel-Casino, with a $20 gaming credit each night. The last day leads to the Canadian Museum of History, whose curving architecture faces Parliament.
A short trip by luxury motorcoach, escorted in French, with 4 meals and several boarding points between Quebec City and Montreal.
