Duquette Elzéar (w3171)
- Description: Elzéar Duquette was a Canadian long-distance walker, nicknamed the “King of the Walk.” For more than forty years, he covered thousands of kilometres on foot across Canada and beyond. Between 1969 and 1976 he undertook round trips from Montreal to Vancouver, Tokyo, and Paris, covering more than 37,000 km (23,000 miles). He travelled with a small cart, which he called his “coffin,” using it both to sleep in and to carry his belongings. He supported himself by selling souvenirs and through television appearances, becoming a well-known popular figure in Quebec during the 1970s
