Welcome to Cheticamp.ca
Chéticamp, a beautiful Acadian village nestled at the foot of the Cape Breton Highlands and rocked by the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence!
Its essentially Acadian inhabitants welcome you in a friendly atmosphere that reveals their pride and joy in life. This year 2010 commemorates the 225th anniversary of the settlement of Chéticamp on the world reknown Cabot Trail.
