It is not an easy access location, you have to drive on an unpaved road for about 4 km to get there. The wind was pretty strong when we were there. The lighthouse views were worth the effort.

The experience was wonderfully surprising. The only negative point is that they let in a lot of people at the same time and it gets a bit crowded and you end up walking faster to get away from the crowds. So, try to walk slowly and enjoy the lights

A nice place for a stop by Route 132 and to learn local history. Built in 1908, the lighthouse has been designated as a Canadian heritage site. For a small fee ($5/adult) you can climb the lighthouse for excellent views of the surrounding bay and windmills in the distance. There's also a museum on site if you want to learn more and there are benches, a playground and a park if you want to take an extended break.

If you’re into rocks, this place is not to be missed! You’ll be leaving with a sack full of unique souvenirs. It’s fairly easy to get to: from either the north or south, Route 299 is a paved highway. Once you make the turn east toward the mine, the gravel road can be bumpy but passable - just slow down! It’s only a couple of kilometers. The driveway to the mine itself is a more rutted, but it, too, is passable - just take it slowly and carefully. The parking lot is level and spacious. A friendly greeting at the office - I’m not going to lie, you’ll get more out of the initial instructions if you understand French - and they set you up very efficiently: a 5-gallon bucket strapped to a hand truck, and rock hammers for everyone in your party. And off you go! From the reception, it’s a short, shady walk to the first digging site. You’ll pass the stone-cutter along the way. I had two dogs in tow, so I didn’t wander too far from the easy-access front of the first dig site. But the site is several terraced acres, so an adventurous soul could explore further. There is also a second dig site, but I didn’t go to it. Once you have a satisfactory amount of stones, you return to the stone-cutting shed. FYI, you pay for every cut stone that you want - this is where this outing can become an expensive proposition! So keep that in mind as you are collecting your rough rocks at the dig site. Also, the stone cutter speaks only French. You lay out your stones, and the stone cutter chooses 3-4 stones that he thinks will yield the best results. If you are happy with those results, he will write up a receipt and send you on your way. If you want additional stones cut, you will need to negotiate with him. Then you wheel back to the entrance. There are toilets and clean-up sinks there. I would definitely come here whenever I happened to be in the area. I was able to navigate the process easily with my two leashed dogs, and there were lots of families with little kids, as well. The folks in charge were very welcoming, and the mine itself offered a rockhounding experience that I thought I would need to travel out west for.

Hiked up Mont Ernest-Laforce (820 M) spectacular 360° views of Mont Albert, Mont Hog's Back, etc. Terrain is rugged in a fun way, you don't need to be an athlete to get to the top, but you feel like one when you get there. Also did the easy hike to Lac-aux-Américains (cirque/glacial basin). Wonderful scenery, beautiful part of the planet.

This is one of those places you should stop by to see "the Cadillac of lighthouses". It holds so much of the history of Canada. I recommend the history tour. Not just the climb up and down.

Nice place to visit to get information on the St-Lawrence under water creatures. They also had an informative session where you are also able to hold some of the species. Great little spot that will take you about two hours to visit and then a cute little boutique on the way out.

Hands down some of the most delicious, smooth, perfect chocolate I have ever tasted in my life. Wish they sold it in Ontario, however, I’d be broke!

Project Éole is the world's largest Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine. Its unique shape makes it stand out immediately from all the other wind turbines in the vicinity and although it has been inactive since the early 90s, it's a testament to the forward thinking of Canadian engineers of the time. The site now serves as a museum which goes over the history of wind turbines in the area and how the Cap Chat site became a testbed for vertical axis wind farms which have an advantage over conventional turbines in that they're less prone to variations in wind direction. The surrounding wind farm is still the largest in the Gaspesie region and served to accelerate its spread across Eastern Canada. The curator is fully bilingual and very knowledgeable about the associated technologies. There are several displays around the grounds and you can also walk inside the control room and base of the turbine. Unfortunately not all of the displays have been translated into English, however the image translation via Google Translate seems to work fine for the most part. The site also offers excellent views of the ocean and several trails. It's definitely well worth a visit for those who have an interest in science, technology and sustainability.

A beautiful little garden retreat. Has some fairy tale houses with the stories inside them. A great place if you have children or not. It even has some cute animals. It is very well maintained and the owner shows passion for what she does.

They've a wide selection of local cheeses and gourmet products e.g. jams, coffee and spreads. We tried some of their hard cheeses, cheesecake and cheese spread which were all amazing. The cheesecake in particular was very good.

We stopped here on the way to Gaspe National Park and what a fantastic stop. The gardens are very well put together and will take you anywhere between 1-3 hours to explore depending on your pace. The price $25 per person. You will get an armband that will make you eligible for 15% discount to a few other attractions on the peninsula. Highly recommend!

We were just driving by and had to stop. Very unique. Absolutely worth the visit. We walked through the art gallery, then walked along the boardwalk admiring the sculptures. There are rooms available but we didn't stay there. Go check it out 😄.

Outstanding park run by a non profit org. The Aventurier trail is highly recommended and about 5km total distance (easy/intermediate difficulty). There is a play area with game modules for kids, RV camping spots but no tent camping. The beach is magnificent and at low tide you can walk almost a kilometre away from the shore and, if lucky, see sunbathing sea-lions. Highly recommended but bring food and water prior to entry as there is nothing on site and the nearby dépanneur is poorly stocked.

It is a historic place, moreover, it's a historical complex of 3 excellent attractions, all super interesting, this is the "ONONDAGA" Submarine... Despite having been in the army, had never been on this type of ship, so To explain everything they created an audio system with 17 points, so you can listen to the explanatory audio as you go passing through each compartment of the submarine point by point, and if you have a minimum of imagination, you can place yourself in time and situation, as if you were in an action film or a documentary. The state of conservation and originality of the ship is remarkable despite the fact that many visitors pass by the place every day, but externally it is the weakest point of conservation due to exposure to the elements and inclement weather, which in winter is not friendly, which is understandable A place that deserves a stop to be enjoyed, very well explained and easy to access, I recommend it 100% and see the images.

We passed through Rimouski in an RV, and found here parking spot for the night (18-9). There is also free Wi-Fi for planning further activities (Parc National du Bic!).

Adorable walk by the river with beautiful views. They have the biggest suspended footbridge a great waterfall, you can hike and trek, you can bring your picnic and enjoy the nature. They have a labyrinth that worth the visit. We spent tree wonderful hour. Family quality time, for sure.

Beautiful visit to a great park. You can go and make a picnic eating near by the river, after, you can take a walk and observe the great sculptures they have there.

One of Quebec's beloved national park. The coastal scenery really is something to behold. I'd recommend you sync with the tides and at least do the 'grand tour' hike, which, in my opinion, showcases the best the beauty of the area.

Exceptional church with a profusion of marble columns, it must indeed be an incredible feeling to have built such a house of worship when you contrast it with your typical church in the US. The wooden sculptures are also very impressive.

It was really special that we took the ferry at 4:30am. We saw the moon goes down and sunrise from the sea! It's stunning 😍😍😍 And it's intertesting that the ferry plays "Here Comes The Sun" By Beetles when sunrise from the sea level! Wonderful experience ever! Definitely highly recommended !

Best whale watching experience. These are unforgettable moments. I recommend Croisière Escoumins as they managed the whole tour really well. The boat was quickly manoeuvred in the direction of the whales. Cheers to Emily for being an amazing and knowledgeable guide.We are very much pleased and humbled by our whale watching experience it’s a must to be put on your bucket list.

We had an excellent whale-watching experience with Du Fleuve. The owner and staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The captain of our boat was extremely knowledgeable and skilled at getting us in good positions to see the whales, while still respecting their space. We had a lot of fun!

(Translated by Google) Deep crush! A great diversity of specimens representing both the St. Lawrence and the rest of the planet. I was transfixed by the guide's presentation, both by its richness, its accuracy, its nuances and its simple and effective way of awakening the curiosity of young and old towards the natural world and the skeletons that shelter this place of wonders. unusual. (Original) Profond coup de coeur! Une grande diversité de spécimens représentant tant bien le St-Laurent que le reste de la planète. Je suis resté transi par l'exposé de la guide, tant par sa richesse, sa justesse, ses nuances et sa façon simple et efficace de réveiller la curiosité des petits et grands envers le monde naturel et les squellettes qu'abrite ce lieu de merveilles insolites.

This spot is the best we’ve found for whale watching. No need for boats or zodiacs (which not only disturb the whales, but also comes with a high price cost and do not guarantee sightseeing). We were fortunate to see several whales during our visits, including a humpback whale. The park staff are exceptionally welcoming, and the guides stationed on the rocks are knowledgeable and clear in their explanations. The views are stunning, and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, making it our favorite place in the region.

We had an amazing time. Our guide was quick to spot and point out whales. We saw Humpbacks, Minke, Porpoises and gray seals. We couldn’t believe how many we got to see and we couldn’t be happier. We don’t speak French, although we would love to learn, but our guide made sure to share all the information in French first and then in English too. Wish I had a better camera, because pictures don’t do what we saw justice. We were in awe.

It was a wonderful experience. I recommend it with my whole heart. The guide was very good and you could see that he loved his job. We have learned a lot. Our daughter was thrilled. She loved it so much.
