Things to see and do The United States Of America

Some make these falls the eighth wonder of the world. You will have to be raised early to admire them, because everyone is found there in the early hours of the day. Several accommodation options on site, between rental of cabins, and locations for tents and camping-cars.

This botanical garden with some 10 000 plants from all over the world (including rhododendrons and azaleas) is listed here. The Japanese tea garden is a gift from the city of Kobe, a Japanese city twinned with Seattle.

This small museum vividly commemorates the gold rush in the Klondike, in the northwestern part of Canada, near Alaska, which contributed to the development and prosperity of Seattle, an important step on Alaska Road: collection objects that belonged to minors, photos and diaries, audiovisual documents. The real reproductions of the lives of the miners and the various demonstrations made make the museum truly exciting and make it possible to understand this epic and decisive period for the city.

Jump on and hang on to the oldest and most famous cable car! From Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf, you'll be rolling down the hills of San Francisco in 20 minutes. It is the most famous tourist attraction of the city with the Golden Gate Bridge, mostly used for tourists, because it is very expensive. You can buy your ticket directly from the driver. Interesting suggestion: take it one station after Powell Station, in Union Square, to avoid the long waiting line

At the time of the construction of this church, in 1912, the Magnificent Mile was called Pine Street and none of the surrounding towers was still there. Today, when you're inside its little courtyard, on Michigan Avenue, you can see in the sky the pyramid and massive form of the Hancock Center. On the occasion of the visit of this church, you really realize the amazing development of Chicago. As for the church itself, it has an organ of 6 603 pipes that was restored in 2015 as well as beautiful stained stained glass windows.

To begin the visit of the Cajun country, Vermilionville should be a mandatory step to understand the life of the Acadians until the end of the 19th century, but also that of the Creoles, the native Indians and the descendants of Africans. In this beautiful site in the middle of nature, on the banks of the Vermilion Bayou, a Cajun village has been entirely reconstructed, some of the houses presented are original, others are replicas. It is very lively and in several houses, a craftsman, Acadian of course, tells you, in French most of the time, about the life of yesteryear and his trade, without forgetting various historical and cultural notions. The visit is self-guided but it is possible to reserve in advance a guided tour, in French upon request (fee in addition to the admission). As a bonus, don't miss:

The Sunday Ball: on Sundays from 1 to 4 pm, put on your best dancing shoes and come take a step back in time at the Vermilionville Ball.

La cuisine de Maman, open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 2pm. Try the gourmet cuisine of Vermilionville's restaurant, the locals are particularly fond of its gumbo (and so are we!). For dessert, try the chocolate cheesecake.

Cultural days with a great program of activities (free admission): Creoles in June, Acadians in August and Native Indians in November.

The Welcome Center boutique: the perfect place to bring back beautiful souvenirs.

The street map reflects the history of the neighborhood. Following a quarrel, David Denny and Dr. Maynard, the founders of Seattle, shared the city on both sides of Yesler Way. The Pioneer Square triangle was the culmination of a limit that should not be exceeded. The buildings surrounding Pioneer Place were built after the 1889 fire in the style created by the architects of the Chicago School. A totem, stolen by the pioneers in a Tlingit Indian village was placed in the centre of the square in 1890. Burned by an incendiary, the city commanded another (the one that is now on the square) in 1938, paid this time. Just on his side is the bust of Indian chef Seattle (Sealth in Indian language) who gave his name to the city. The elegant ouvragée and glass pergola that decorate the square were made in 1909 by J.F. Everett to serve the passengers who were waiting for the trolley. It was restored in 1970.

This superb 4 km long beach is very popular in the summer because it is one of the few Puget Sound not covered with pebbles and shells. It also offers one of the best views on Seattle.

These three longiformes formations are called "the three sisters", but above all the most left-wing training shows the veil and hands in prayer of a religious.

Ballard's locks work for large pleasure boats as well as fragile kayaks! Throughout the summer and early fall, very many salmon come dressed in the opposite currents. The lucky ones manage to escape sea lions, which are greedy greedy.
