For this Wednesday Walk Challenge hosted by @tattoodjay, I propose a hike called the Zizanie-des-Marais (Marsh Zizanie) in the Parc national de Plaisance, a circuit on stilts to explore this marsh on the banks of the Ottawa River between Montreal and Gatineau in Quebec.
> Pour ce Wednesday Walk Challenge proposé par @tattoodjay, je vous propose une petite randonnée rapide appelée la Zizanie-des-Marais dans le Parc national de Plaisance, un circuit sur pilotis pour explorer ce marécage se trouvant au bord de la rivière Outaouais entre Montréal et Gatineau au Québec.
As is often the case when I go camping, I wake up early not because I want to enjoy the morning, but mostly because my back tells me it's time to get up 😀. As everyone else was asleep, I was able to enjoy this trail, alone and see many birds. Come and discover this trail with me...
Comme souvent quand je fais du camping, je me réveille tôt non par envie de profiter du matin mais surtout que mon dos me dis que c'est le temps de se lever 😀. Comme tout le monde dormait, j'ai pu profiter de ce sentier, seul et voir de nombreux oiseaux. Venez découvrir ce sentier avec moi...
First, here's a map to help you locate Parc national de Plaisance. It's a 2-hour drive from Montreal, in the Outaouais region, named after the river that separates Quebec from Ontario.
Tout d'abord voici une carte pour mieux situer le Parc national de Plaisance. Il se trouve à 2 heures de route de Montréal dans la région de l'Outaouais du nom de la rivìère que sépare le Québec de l'Ontario.

Parc de Plaisance
We're going to do the same walk that I did on Saturday morning, starting from the campsites and joining the Zizanie-des-Marais trail. The sun was still low at the start of the walk. It's 1.5 km to the trailhead from the campsite. Nice trail, perfect for bikes.
Nous allons faire la même balade que j'ai faite samedi matin en partant des emplacements de camping pour rejoindre le sentier Zizanie-des-Marais. Le soleil était encore bas au début de la balade. Il y a 1.5 km pour rejoindre le début du sentier du camping. Beau chemin, parfait pour les vélos.
The skiy was clear despite the remnants of the storm Debby that had hit the USA the days before. On Friday there was heavy rain on the road to the campsite, so we had to wait until evening to put up the tents. Early in the morning, the colors of the fields with their yellow and purple flowers were beautiful.
Le ciel était dégagé malgré les restes de la tempête Debby qui a sévit aux Etats-Unis les jours d'avant. Le vendredi il y a eu de grosses pluies sur la route pour aller au camping, nous avons dû attendre le soir pour monter les tentes. Tôt le matin, les couleurs des champs avec les fleurs jaunes et mauves étaient magnifiques.
Zizanie-des-Marais
After a 30-minute walk, we arrive at the Zizanie-des-Marais trail entrance with a small wooden path that leads us to the stilted trail. I love the view with no one on the trail 😀
Après 30 minutes de marche, nous arrivons à l'entrée du sentier Zizanie-des-Marais avec une petit chemin en bois qui nous améne vers le sentier sur pilotis. J'aime la vue avec personne sur le sentier 😀
As soon as we enter, the first thing we see is this enormous beaver lodge, which must be very happy to have such a large swamp to play in. The only problem is, he can't sunbathe in peace at the top of his lodge without being disturbed by walkers 😀.
Dès l'entrée, la première chose que nous voyons est cette énorme hutte à castor qui doit être bien heureux d'avoir un marécage aussi grand pour s'amuser. Seul problème, il ne peut bronzer tranquille au sommet de sa hutte sans être déranger par les promeneurs 😀.
FYI, zizania is an aquatic plant found in shallow waters like this swamp (ancient Greek for weed). I wasn't familiar with the term. But thanks to these tall grasses, birds like to hide in them. Early in the morning, I spotted a few specimens. But my camera (or the photographer) isn't designed to take pictures of them, only beautiful blurred trails.
Pour info, la zizanie est une plante aquatique qui se trouve dans les eaux peu profondes comme ce marécage (en grec ancien mauvaise herbe). Je ne connaissais pas ce terme. Mais grâce à ces hautes herbes. les oiseaux aiment s'y cacher. Tôt le matin, j'ai pu apercevoir quelques spécimens. Mais mon appareil (ou le photographe) n'est pas fait pour les prendre en photo, seulement de belles trainées floues.
This trail is really pleasant, with benches ideally placed for birdwatching, especially ducks (I think) who were having a lot of fun in the tall grass.
Vraiment agréable ce sentier avec des bancs idéalement placés pour observer les oiseaux, surtout des canards (enfin je pense) qui s'amusaient beaucoup dans les hautes herbes.
But I did manage to take a photo of a bird that was motionless in the grass, thinking it was camouflaged. The only way I get clear photos of animals is when they're at rest.
> Mais j'ai réussi à prendre une photo d'un oiseau qui était immobile dans les herbes pensant être camouflé. Ma seule façon d'avoir des photos nettes d'animaux est quand ils sont immobiles.
I'll leave you to find the crane / FR : Je vous laisse chercher la grue 🔽
I can see why @tattoodjay wakes up so early to take photos, the light really is better and nobody. I went back in the afternoon and it wasn't the same at all. The sky was grey and the birds had disappeared to make way for the walkers.
Je comprends pourquoi @tattoodjay se réveille si tôt pour faire des photos, la luminosité est vraiment meilleure. J'y suis retourné en après-midi et ce n'était pas du tout la même chose. Le ciel était gris et les oiseaux avaient disparu pour laisser place aux promeneurs.
I hope you enjoy this walk through the heart of a marsh to discover the flora and fauna. It's a really good idea to have this trail on stilts to discover this wetland and understand its importance for nature. Happy Wednesday Walk Challenge to all.
J'espère que vous avez cette balade au coeur d'un marécage pour y découvrir la faune et la flore. C'est vraiment une très bonne idée ce sentier sur pilotis pour découvrir ce milieu humide et comprendre son importance pour la nature. Bon Wednesday Walk Challenge à tous.
