Historic Attractions & Museums - L'Anse - Amour

 L'Anse Amour Translate as "Cove of Love", but the name is actually a romanticized version of "Anse aux Morts" ("Cove of the Dead"), chosen probably for the many lives lost in dramatic shipwrecks nearby. L'Anse Amour is smallest community in the area with a nice beach and a picnic area. A burial site of a young Maritime Archaic boy dated to 7500 years old is located here.
