Here's the house we rented for a week. This less-than-full view belies the fact that there was plenty of room for 7: Paul, JoAnna, Andy, Eddie -- plus JoAnna's aunt, cousin, and niece.
We were located just 2 blocks from the bibliotheque publique. All the signage in Shippagan is in French. English is spoken here, but as a second language.
The public library is the only wi-fi location in Shippagan. I spent a total of three hours here during the week. Rarely saw either of the two employees check out a book.
A recently constructed 2.5 kilometer boardwalk follows the water's edge, an inlet of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. JoAnna and I walked this flag-lined route every morning.
Acadian pride was fully in evidence.
"Take a picture of this," JoAnna requested near the end of one of our walks. Her paternal grandmother is a Gauthier - or GO-key, as it's pronounced in TRIV-ers.
The obligatory Tim Horton's picture. We saw drive-through lines like this not just in the morning but throughout the day. (Full disclosure: we made two visits here during the week.)

Whatever's on the other side of the railing isn't holding everyone's attention.
