Mes premiers pas au Canada, c’est à

Mes premiers pas au Canada, c’est à Halifax en Nouvelle-Ecosse. Un vrai bout du monde, à l’extrême Est de cet immense pays, isolé sur une presqu’île.

Arrivées avec Adeline, nous faisons la connaissance de nos compagnons de voyage du blog-trip pour le TBEX: Yvonne, allemande, Amanda, australienne, Li, chinoise, Hyun-Ju, coréenne, Nathalia, brésilienne, Katja, finlandaise… et Alex, français aussi!! Ouf, au moins un garçon dans ce groupe si féminin! ;-) Le deuxième, Kris, canadien, nous rejoindra dans deux jours. Une sympathique équipe très internationale, en provenance de quatre continents!


Maisons colorées sur le waterfront d’Halifax

Halifax… Un nom de ville qui m’a longtemps intrigué. Au premier abord, j’y trouve une ressemblance avec Glasgow… Ah oui, forcément, on est en Nouvelle Ecosse! Mais sans la rigueur austère de sa cousine écossaise. Beaucoup de maisons en bois colorées égaient le paysage. Tout un réseau de passerelles pour piétons sur-élevées, qui doivent être très pratiques contre la froidure de l’hiver. Des pubs à chaque coin de rue. Une super balade à faire le long du waterfront. Halifax, c’est le deuxième port naturel le plus vaste au monde, après Sydney. J’aime beaucoup les villes maritimes. Il y règne une atmosphère de liberté et de mystère, avec une touche d’excentricité. A Halifax, l’été au McDonald’s, on peut commander un McLobster!! Un hamburger au homard!! Bienvenue dans les provinces maritimes du Canada!! Le homard, c’est presque monnaie courante ici! Alors autant ne pas s’en priver!


Maquette du titanic au musée maritime d’Halifax

Le Titanic a sombré au large d’Halifax

C’est à un peu plus d’un millier de kilomètres des côtes d’Halifax, que le 15 avril 1912, le Titanic a sombré, avec ses 2.200 passagers et membres d’équipage. Port d’importance le plus proche, c’est donc d’ici que sont partis les bateaux chargés de récupérer les corps des victimes. Toute l’histoire de ce tragique naufrage est racontée au Musée maritime de l’Atlantique d’Halifax (super intéressant par ailleurs sur l’histoire maritime de la province avec beaucoup de maquettes de bateaux). Des objets récupérés par les navires de secours y sont exposés. Sur les 300 corps (pour 1.500 victimes) retrouvés, environ 150 ont été enterrés à Halifax, la plupart, au Fairview Cemetery. Le pèlerinage vaut le détour. Un carré y est réservé pour les victimes du Titanic. Beaucoup de stèles avec la simple mention « Died April 15 1912… » suivie d’un numéro… car non identifiées. L’une d’elles centralise néanmoins la plupart des attentions: celle d’un certain « J. Dawson », le nom du personnage incarné par Leonardo DiCaprio dans le Titanic de James Cameron. Pourtant c’est juste une coïncidence. Il s’agit en fait d’un certain Joseph Dawson, un machiniste irlandais qui travaillait sur le bateau. Mais l’attrait du film et la légende sont plus fort que le reste. On a tellement envie d’y croire qu’on imagine se recueillir sur la tombe de Jack/Leonardo. Peu importe finalement le lien entre la réalité et la fiction. De nombreuses scènes du Titanic de James Cameron ont d’ailleurs été tournées au large d’Halifax. L’histoire du navire et de la ville restent indissociablement liées.


La tombe de J. Dawson à Halifax

A voir aussi à Halifax:

La citadelle, fortification britannique sur les hauteurs d’Halifax avec un beau panorama sur le port… et des militaires en costume d’époque trop mignons!

Pour manger: ambiance pub au Henry House (le meilleur fish and chips que j’ai jamais mangé! Et aussi super bière: la Granite Brewery). Ou plus chic: The Five Fishermen (homard excellent, et aussi les « five fish »)

Pour boire un verre: l’Irish Pub Durty Nelly’s. Super ambiance, surtout si vous avez la chance d’y aller un soir de match de hockey sur glace, LE sport national!


Séance de pose à la citadelle d’Halifax

A voir dans les environs d’Halifax:

Super coup de coeur pour Lunenburg, petite ville portuaire classée au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco pour son architecture si particulière avec ses maisons colorées. A côté, Mahone Bay vaut aussi le détour.
