Thorne (Ladysmith) is located within an hour of the National Capital and a few kilometres north of Highway 148 West and south of highway 105.
The German culture is celebrated in this small community nestled in the scenic Gatineau hills. Several murals installed at iconic sites, and its annual Oktoberfest, further reveal its German roots and founding families.
With its several lakes, forests and vast green areas, Thorne is a true refuge for vacationers.
