Home Away from Home

March 30, 2022 | Gaspé region

Gaspésie is like no other region in Québec. I would say the most beautiful, but that might be a biased statement.

Although I did not grow up here, I'm truly blessed to now call the Gaspé Peninsula my home. With unlimited natural beauty at all times of the year, it is the perfect place to live or visit.

“The examples of what makes our region incredible are endless”

There are so many things that make Gaspésie a place like no other. We have the smell of the ocean while having access to crystal clear lakes. Activities to do with family, friends or alone, whether it's summer or winter. The examples of what makes our region incredible are endless, so here are just a few: we have four national parks, the famous Percé Rock, a UNESCO World Heritage site, summits over 1000 metres, and Canada's tallest lighthouse.

While the fresh seafood, whale watching, and magnificent views are pretty amazing, I think the best part of Gaspésie is the people! Friendliness is definitely a common trait among Gaspésians, regardless of language. French and English can be heard regularly up and down the coast. Stop by; we'll show you!
