How Far From Saint Michel des Saints to ...
We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a village such as Saint Michel des Saints to various places of note, such as Parliament Hill.
With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<1> beginning in Saint Michel des Saints and extending to:
- The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is 121 miles [194.7 km]<1> to the southwest (SW). If you could drive a straight line from Saint Michel des Saints to Parliament Hill, with an average speed<2>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take about two hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 7 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 5 days.
- The shortest distance<3> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,451 miles [8,772.5 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<4>
- The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 6,181 miles [9,947.4 km] and it lies to the east northeast (ENE).<5>
- The distance to Saint Peter's Basilica (The Vatican) is 4,059 miles [6,532.3 km] and it lies to the east northeast (ENE).<6>

Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Saint Michel des Saints) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Saint Michel des Saints. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.6667, Longitude: -73.9167 |
| <2> | While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day. |
| <3> | The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Saint Michel des Saints to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East. |
| <4> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 305.094 degrees. |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 301.554 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 299.721 degrees. |
