Cela faisait longtemps que je rêvai

Cela faisait longtemps que je rêvais de découvrir Vancouver, cette métropole du bout du monde au bord de l’Océan Pacifique. Régulièrement classée parmi les villes les plus agréables à vivre, Vancouver est à la hauteur de sa réputation. Parcs, plages et marinas se succèdent aux pieds des gratte-ciels de cette métropole ultra-moderne, cosmopolite et aussi un peu hippie. C’est une ville où l’on fait du yoga, où on mange des sushis et où on cultive des légumes bio dans son jardin.

Nous y avons passé cinq jours à la mi-août avec Emily, dans une sympathique maison sur Commercial Drive avec une Algérienne, une Irlandaise et un Canadien. C’était la première étape d’un grand périple à travers le Canada: la traversée du pays en train jusqu’à Montréal, que vous pourrez lire très prochainement ici-même. En attendant, voici quelques bonnes idées à faire à Vancouver, une liste non exhaustive bien entendu étant donné la quantité d’activités disponibles…

1 Faire du vélo dans Stanley Park

velo stanley park vancouverStanley Park, c’est l’un des plus grands parcs urbains d’Amérique du Nord, encore plus grand que Central Park à New York. Une piste cyclable de 8km permet d’en faire le tour et c’est le meilleur moyen pour découvrir le parc, ses lacs, plages et profiter de la vue magnifique sur la skyline de Vancouver. Attention toutefois à bien respecter les règles de circulation! Piétons et vélos ont chacun leur voie de circulation, et le tour à vélo se fait en sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre. On n’a pas le droit de rouler à contre-sens… A ne pas louper: les totems sculptés par les peuples Amérindiens de la côte nord-ouest du Pacifique, exposés à Brockton Point, sur la pointe Est du parc.

Infos pratiques: on peut louer des vélos tout près de l’entrée de Stanley Park, chez Spokes Bicycles Rentals.
Comme le vélo est un des meilleurs moyens de découvrir la ville, autant les garder pour explorer les autres endroits de Vancouver. La piste cyclable longe tout le front de mer, le seewall, (22km du Coal Harbour jusqu’à Kitsilano), et avec un peu d’exercice, on peut même aller jusqu’à UBC (Uiversity of British Columbia), là où se trouve le musée d’anthropologie (cf plus bas)

2 Se baigner à la plage

plage second beach vancouverPour aller à la plage à Vancouver, il y a l’embarras du choix… On y trouve à chaque fois des troncs d’arbres pour s’installer. Par contre, même mi-août, l’eau est un peu fraîche… Mais c’est vrai qu’on n’est pas sous les tropiques. A Stanley Park, il y a Second Beach (cf photo). Pour le coucher de soleil, il y a Sunset Beach, qui donne sur English Bay. Un peu plus, loin, juste à côte du musée d’anthropologie, il y a Wreck Beach. C’est une institution à Vancouver car c’est une plage « clothing optionnal », avec ou sans maillot de bain. L’ambiance y est très « peace and love », avec à la fois un public familial, des étudiants qui viennent faire la fête et des hippies qui jouent de la musique. Il y a aussi quelques hommes seuls un peu voyeurs, mais c’est le risque des plages naturistes. Le truc cool, c’est qu’on peut se baigner même si on a oublié son maillot de bain ;-)

plage wreck beach vancouver

A savoir: la consommation d’alcool est interdite dans les lieux publics au Canada, donc pas possible de boire une bière sur la plage au coucher de soleil ou une bouteille de vin lors d’un pique-nique… A moins d’avoir prévu le coup avec une gourde ou de transvaser dans une autre bouteille… ;-)
3 Comprendre l’histoire des Premières Nations au musée d’anthropologie

musee anthropologie vancouver moaLe musée d’anthropologie de Vancouver (MOA) est un très beau musée sur l’histoire et la culture des peuples amérindiens de la Colombie Britannique. « Premières Nations » (First Nations), c’est le terme utilisé au Canada pour désigner les peuples autochtones. Le pays a lui aussi une histoire complexe avec ses premiers habitants, même si elle est moins sanglante qu’aux Etats-Unis. La galerie multidiversité du musée présente plus de 16.000 objets du quotidien de toutes les cultures du monde, du Canada jusqu’à la Chine et au Japon, en passant par l’Afrique et l’Amérique du Sud.

Mon conseil: le MOA est un peu loin du centre-ville, mais c’est un bon prétexte pour y aller à vélo. La balade, en front de mer est très sympa, même s’il faut un peu grimper sur la fin… Il faut coupler la visite avec un tour sur Wreck Beach, juste à côté…
4 Survoler le Canada avec Fly over Canada

Un vrai coup de coeur à Vancouver! Fly over Canada est un simulateur de vol qui donne l’impression de survoler le Canada à bord d’un deltaplane ou d’un hélicoptère. Les images sont d’une beauté à couper le souffle et on s’y croit vraiment! Attention d’ailleurs si vous avez le vertige… C’est tellement réaliste qu’on a presque peur de tomber dans le vide. Une expérience vidéo en 4D avec des sièges en mouvement sur lesquels ils faut bien boucler sa ceinture, du vent, et même de la brume de pluie quand on traverse des nuages!



5 Se prendre pour un champion olympique au BC Stadium

vancouver jo medaillesVancouver est une ville olympique, qui a organisé les jeux d’hiver en 2010. Pour les fans de sport, on peut visiter le BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, au BC Place Stadium, qui a accueilli notamment les cérémonie d’ouverture et de clôture des JO. Un espace du musée est consacré aux jeux, et on peut même faire la photo souvenir sur une réplique de podium olympique. On apprend aussi plein de choses sur le hockey-sur-glace, le sport national du Canada.

6 Voir des ours et des bûcherons à Grouse Mountain

vancouver ours grouse mountainA seulement 15 minutes en voiture de Vancouver, on peut être à la montagne! L’hiver, c’est un domaine skiable, et l’été, un super endroit pour se balader, avec vue magnifique sur la baie de Vancouver du haut des 1.200 mètres d’altitude de Grouse Mountain. On peut monter en téléphérique. En haut, il y a pas mal de chemins de randonnée, des ours dans des enclos (plus facile pour les voir que dans la nature…), un spectacle de bucherons et des démonstrations d’oiseaux et rapaces. Ca fait un peu parc d’attraction, mais on passe un bon moment. Tout voyageur au Canada espère avoir l’occasion de voir des ours en liberté, mais ça n’arrive pas forcément… Avec Emily ça ne nous est pas arrivé en tout cas, alors mieux vaut saisir l’occasion d’en voir de près, avec des guides qui donnent des explications. Le spectacle de bûcherons, c’est un peu kitsch, c’est vrai, mais super drôle et très impressionnant! Ils font rugir leurs tronçonneuses pour couper le plus de bûches le plus vite possible, rivalisent d’adresse pour monter à des mats en bois ou d’agilité pour rester en équilibre sur des rondins dans l’eau… Déballage de muscles et de testostérone dans une ambiance très bon enfant. Et on a même droit à la photo souvenir ;-)

Séance photo avec les bucherons après le spectacle

Infos pratiques: une navette gratuite au départ de Canada Place permet d’accéder à Grouse Mountain si on n’est pas motorisé. Par contre, petit bémol, l’entrée du site (téléphérique plus accès aux différentes activités) est assez chère: 41,95 dollars pour le prix de base, et 45,95 si on veut prendre le télésiège pour monter plus haut après le téléphérique.
7 Boire une bière à Granville Island

vancouver granville island breweryGranville Island, c’est vraiment à ne pas louper à Vancouver! On y trouve un marché avec des produits frais (très bon endroit pour déjeuner ou dîner, mais attention, ça ferme tôt, à 19h), plein de boutiques vintage pour chiner, et une micro-brasserie artisanale: la Granville Island Brewing. Le mieux, c’est de commander le plateau de dégustation avec 8 variétés à déguster… de la plus blanche à la plus amère.

A éviter: Capilano suspension bridge

Grosse affluence sur le pont Capilano
Grosse affluence sur le pont Capilano

C’est une attraction pourtant populaire à Vancouver: le pont suspendu de Capilano, mais j’ai été très déçue. C’est archi blindé de monde, cher (35,95 dollars) et on n’a vraiment pas l’impression d’être dans la nature tant il y a des barrières partout. Il faut faire la queue pour traverser le pont, et une fois dessus, on se fait autant bousculer que dans un couloir du métro à Paris… Hors saison, c’est peut-être sympa, mais si vous êtes à Vancouver en juillet-août, à éviter!! Une amie de Vancouver nous avait pourtant recommandé d’aller plutôt au Lynn suspension bridge, beaucoup moins fréquenté et en plus gratuit… On aurait mieux fait d’écouter son conseil plutôt que de faire comme tout le monde et de suivre les conseils des guides touristiques… Ca m’intéresserait d’ailleurs d’avoir des avis là-dessus. Si vous avez été au pont suspendu Lynn, dites-le en commentaire.

It is an institution in Vancouver because it is a 'clothing optionnal' Beach, with or without bathing suit. The atmosphere is very "peace and love", with both a family audience, students who come to party and the hippies that play music. There are also a few men only a little voyeurs, but it is the risk of naturist beaches. The cool thing is that you can swim even if they forgot her swimwear ;-)Beach wreck beach vancouverNamely: consumption of alcohol is forbidden in public places in the Canada, so not possible to drink a beer on the beach at sunset or a bottle of wine at a picnic...

The multidiversite of the Museum Gallery presents more than 16,000 objects from the daily lives of all cultures of the world, from Canada to China and Japan, passing through Africa and South America.My advice: the MOA is a bit far from downtown, but it is a good excuse to go there by bike. The ride on the seafront is very nice, even if it takes a little climb at the end... It is necessary to couple the visit with a ride on Wreck Beach, next to...4 fly over Canada with Fly over CanadaA true favorite in Vancouver! Fly over Canada is a Flight Simulator that gives the impression of fly over Canada on board a hang glider or helicopter. The images are beautiful breathtaking and is believed really!

We also learn lots of things about the hockey-on-ice, the national sport of the Canada.6 see bears and loggers at Grouse Mountainbear Vancouver grouse mountainA only 15 minutes by car from Vancouver, you can be in the mountains! In winter, it is a ski resort, and summer, a great place to stroll, with magnificent view over the Bay of Vancouver from the top of the 1,200 metres of altitude of Grouse Mountain. You can climb by cable car. Above, there are a lot of paths for hiking, bears in enclosures (easier to see in the wild...), a show of loggers and demonstrations of birds and Raptors. It's been a little amusement park, but we pass a good time. Any traveller to the Canada hope to have the opportunity to see bears in liberty, but it is not necessarily... With Emily it not happened to us anyway, so better take the opportunity to see closely, with guides that give explanations. The spectacle of loggers, it is a little kitschy, it's true, but super funny and very impressive! They roar their chainsaws to cut logs as soon as possible, compete address to mount to wood or agility poles to stay balanced on logs in the water... Unpacking muscles and testosterone in a very good atmosphere child. And there are even right to the photo souvenir ;-)Photo shoot with the loggers after the showPhoto shoot with the loggers after the showPractical information: a free shuttle bus departing from Canada Place provides access to Grouse Mountain if it is not powered. On the other hand, small flat, the entrance to the site (cable car more access to different activities) is fairly expensive: 41.95 dollars for the base price, and 45.95 if it wants to take the chair lift to climb higher after the cable car.7 a beer at Granville IslandVancouver granville island breweryGranville Island, it's really not to miss in Vancouver! There is a market with fresh produce (great place for lunch or dinner, but be careful, it closed early, at 7 pm), full of vintage for antiquing, shops and a craft brewery: Granville Island Brewing.

It is shielded archi of world, expensive ($35.95) and we don't really have the impression of being in nature as there are barriers everywhere. Need to queue to cross the bridge, and once above, it is as much shove in a corridor of the metro in Paris... Off-season, it is maybe nice, but if you're in Vancouver in July-August, to avoid! A friend of Vancouver we had yet recommended to go instead to Lynn suspension bridge, much less frequent and free... It would have done better to listen to its Board rather than like everyone else and follow the advice of tourist guides... It would also interest me to have opinions on it. If you've been to the suspension bridge Lynn, tell the comment.
