Gaspé

Located in Percé, not far from Gaspé, this artisanal smokehouse has been keeping Gaspésie’s smoked salmon tradition going strong for over 50 years. You can discover their singular savoir-faire and sample local specialties like cold-smoked salmon, maple-smoked trout, and dried cod on site. Whenever you visit, Fumoir Monsieur Émile offers an authentic gourmet experience that lets you bring home a little taste of Gaspésie.

Just a few minutes from downtown Gaspé, this long stretch of fine golden sand is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Québec and a favourite spot for taking a dip, lounging in the sun or enjoying water activities. In the summer, it’s the perfect place to splash around or have a picnic. But whatever the season, the proximity to nature and the view of the bay can’t be beat. Especially at sunset!

Seaside eateries offering fresh lobster, snow crab and fish abound in the area—as you might expect! Reel in local flavours and the gastronomy of Gaspésie in warm and welcoming settings. You’ll find options ranging from fine dining establishments to chip shacks and everything in between.

Climbing to the top may be considered a moderate hike, but the jaw-dropping 360 views of Forillon National Park, the Gaspé Bay and the Saint Lawrence will make it all worth it. In every season, this modest yet magnificent mountain delights nature lovers and fans of endless seascapes alike.
