Can you really say you went to L’Anse-Saint-Jean if you didn’t visit the Pont du Faubourg? Translating to the Faubourg Bridge in English, it is a bridge covered with incredible art inside – almost like an outdoor art gallery. The wooden structures on the interior of the bridge cross to form diamond shapes where the pieces of art are kept.
The art collection widely depicts views of the surrounding areas – everything from the harbours to views of the autumn forest, snowy ski slopes, and more. There is even a large statue of a man wearing a bright green coat and holding a paintbrush, so you’ll never miss it if you happen to stumble upon it by accident!
