Tour of Parliament House in French!

Sunny Day!
Got the tour of Parliament House but all English tours were booked so we took the French tour. Time to polish up the high school French.
We had over an hour before the tour so we got a pass to do the a Peace Tower first. Amazing views of the city from the top. The tower also houses the carillon. On the way to the top you glimpse the bells through the lift door windows. They are massive. Still, time to kill and the House of Commons were in debate so we sat in on that for a while. Not too many members of the government were present as the opposition were haranguing the finance minister. He wasn’t there either but he has been a naughty boy and his number is up.
Then the tour. Okay, we didn’t understand all of the French conversation of our tour guide, but we managed to get the gist.
After the tour it was time for a late lunch then home. Our last night in Ottawa.Read more
