Frequently Asked Questions
Right beside the small town at the head of the bay. The centre is a few minutes' walk: the main shopping street, cafés, regional shops and constant views over the bay.
The Musée de la Gaspésie up on the hill plus a stroll through town fills a half day, or an excursion to Forillon National Park about thirty kilometres away. Percé and Bonaventure Island take most of the day.
Because Jacques Cartier planted a cross here in July 1534 and claimed the territory for the King of France. The monument to the discoverers, facing the sea, marks the symbolic spot.
From the Mi'gmaq word 'Gespeg', the end of the land. The Mi'gmaq community of Gespeg shares its culture through its interpretation site, a reminder that this history long predates the French ships.
The tip of the peninsula, where the Appalachians plunge into the gulf: limestone cliffs, clear-water coves, coastal trails and the Grande-Grave sector with its early 20th-century fishing houses. The Cap-des-Rosiers lighthouse, Canada's tallest, has stood watch nearby since 1858.
Yes, about an hour by the coast road. The excursion takes most of the day and remains the most requested from the ships. The rock, a limestone wall over 400 metres long pierced by its arch, justifies the trip.
One of the largest accessible northern gannet colonies in the world: more than 100,000 birds nest on its ledges. Local boats circle the island and land for those who want to walk up to the colony.
Often, from the Forillon lookouts, rated among the best land-based viewing points in maritime Quebec. Seals and whales pass regularly, though nothing is guaranteed.
Lobster and snow crab in season, cod prepared the old way, northern berries and beers from local microbreweries. Seaside canteens serve lobster rolls that count among the simple pleasures of the call.
June to September. The Bonaventure gannets are present from spring to late summer, and both snow crab and lobster follow the fishing seasons: asking what has just been landed is still the best advice.
