Put your bags down facing Gaspé Bay, perched on a grandiose cape and daydream in the comfort of your Scandinavian Nautika cottage.

The ultimate Gaspesian experience.

Identified as one of the 50 Canadian destinations to see in one's lifetime by the National Geographic Traveler, the Gaspé Peninsula offers no less than 4 national parks.

A great bird sanctuary, the Gaspé Peninsula is home to more than 365 different species of birds, including the gannet, a species that is particularly common in this region.

Travelling around this most picturesque of peninsulas, each new location offers its own historic lighthouse, like a colourful birthday candle placed at the end of each rocky point.

The Gaspé has all the right ingredients: unspoiled fishing towns that have kept their charm and lighthouses burning, miles of unrivalled scenery, plenty of clean wind power (and therefore clean air and water), a solid tourist infrastructure... without ugly overbuilding or chain hotels, and, perhaps most importantly, a multitude of low-key restaurants serving superb local cuisine.

Water is everywhere: bays, rivers and streams, the Gulf and the great blue sea. This is Québec maritime, a coastline of small communities that still live on fish and lobster.

The Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock National Park boasts a rich natural, historical and geological heritage. Sculpted by time and the sea, at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, it has Bonaventure Island as its fortress and the majestic Percé Rock as its stone vessel, the tourist emblem of Quebec.

The Gaspé Peninsula, with its landscape of sea, mountains and crystal-clear rivers, is a breathtakingly beautiful place.
