Fishing boats at the Rock of Percé
The Gaspé Peninsula
This peninsula stretches northeast of Québec into
the Gulf of St. Lawrence and is made up of some
of the province’s wildest and most attractive
scenery. Popularly known as the Gaspésie, it is
geologically the northernmost tip of the grand
Appalachian Mountains, which come to a
dramatic end at the Rocher Percé, otherwise
known as Percé Rock. Dense pine forests cover a
varied terrain that reaches up to the 1,300 metre
peaks of the Chic-Chocs mountains: excellent
for walking. On the eastern tip of the peninsula
Bonaventure Island is home to North America’s
largest gannet colony and the southern coast is
dotted with 18th century fishing villages,
beautiful gardens and fruit farms. A good road
circles the peninsula and allows easy access to
all the highlights.

guest rooms and public areas are beautifully
furnished with antiques and works of art, each
space a haven of peace soothed by the sound of
waves from the river below. Despite this beauty it
is the award-winning cuisine and service that has
earned the auberge its pre-eminent reputation.
