Quebec Route 197
Route 197 is a short 19 km two-lane highway which cuts through the Appalachian Mountains in the municipality of Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. Its only function is to act as a shortcut to Route 132 which goes around the Forillon peninsula which makes up Forillon National Park. It starts at the junction of Route 132 in Rivière-au-Renard (part of the municipality of Gaspé) and ends again at the junction of Route 132 in Saint-Majorique, part of Gaspé as well.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
