mirador/poste d'affût
This overlook sits at 1,188 feet along the Route des Belles-Histoires, facing east across terrain that drops 308 feet within 600 meters. The view takes in four peaks: Mont Plaisant to the east-northeast at 1.9 miles (1,148 ft), Deer Mountain to the east at 2.8 miles (1,017 ft), Montagne Green to the east-southeast at 3.0 miles (984 ft), and Mont du Lac to the east-northeast at 3.1 miles (1,033 ft). Because the overlook faces due east, it looks directly toward sunrise. Sunrise times shift through the year, from 05:08 at the June solstice to 07:39 at the December solstice, with the March and September equinoxes falling near 07:03 and 06:46 respectively. The previous stop on this route is Vue, and the next is Rivière Rouge.
