Pointe-à-l’Orignal is located about two leagues from each of the two churches in Saint-Denis and Rivière-Ouelle. The site . . . is the best spot from which to view the entire landscape rising up from the shore on the other side of the river. It’s an excellent spot to daydream, think and admire the vast panoramic view!

Arthur Buies (1840-1901)
