The Best Attractions In St Lunaire-Griquet

1. L'Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site L Anse Aux Meadows
L'Anse aux Meadows is an archaeological site on the northernmost tip of the Great Northern Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Archaeological evidence of a Norse presence was discovered at L'Anse aux Meadows in the 1960s. It is the only confirmed site of a Norse or Viking settlement in North America outside of the settlements found in Greenland.Dating to around the year 1000, L'Anse aux Meadows is widely accepted as evidence of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. It is notable for its possible connection with the attempted colony of Vinland established by Leif Erikson around the same period or, more broadly, with Norse exploration of North America. It was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1978.

Trails, Tales and Tunes - Gros Morne National Park

By Peter Bull, Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism

This spring my family & I drove to Gros Morne National Park to take in the Trails, Tales and Tunes Festival. Trails Tales and Tunes happens for 10 days in May every year in Norris Point. What a backdrop for a festival! We had a great weekend listening to a lot of fantastic musicians like AcaBella, Daniel Payne and Richard Neville. We just happened upon Daniel and Richard jamming at the Cat Stop. The guys really got into the tale told by Elinor Benjamin at the Bonne Bay Marine Station. The marine touch tanks at the station were also hit with the lads. In between shows we did some hiking to the lighthouse in Lobster Head Cove and along the shoreline of Norris Point. What a fantastic weekend!
