Restigouche

If you have not been there, and this is for Americans also--make sure you go to the Battle of Restigouche National Historic Site at the mouth of the Restigouche River when you enter the province of Quebec from Campbellton, NB. This is where the nationality of North America was decided and New France was lost forever. After this decisive battle between the French and the English, the French were hunted down and repatriated back to France. This didn't work out so well and many French hid out in the northern forests. Those who remained in this area became known as Acadians and their culture survives to this day. If you like history then this is a "Must See". If you subscribed to Motorcycle Mojo magazine you would already know this. ha ha

Many of the Acadians also settled in Louisiana, with their French culture and became known as

the Cajun.
