Gaspé Peninsula essentials

The Gaspé Peninsula is defined by the dramatic intersection of the Appalachian Mountains and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This selection highlights the region's maritime heritage at the Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse and its indigenous roots at the Gespeg Micmac interpretation site. Natural landmarks include the alpine tundra of the Chic-Choc Mountains, accessible via trails on Mount Albert and Mount Logan, and the coastal vistas of Percé. Cultural sites like the Musée acadien du Québec and the historic Magasin général illustrate the area's diverse settlement history.
