Enjoy Gaspésie

Observing wildlife in the Gaspésie region is a chance to experience pure enchantment! Admire the grey seals and harbour seals poking their pretty heads out of the water or basking on the rocks, and watch the majestic whales emerge on the horizon. Get up close to the largest and most accessible colony of gannets in the world, spot salmon in the rivers and meet black bears, white-tailed deer, moose and the only caribou herd south of the St. Lawrence!

If you’re passing through Cap-Chat, you’re sure to notice the vertical axis wind turbines (the highest in the world!) at Projet Éole. This attraction offers a unique experience of “retro-industrial wind immersion” in the middle of nature. Thanks to the experimental energy plant, information panels and a guide on site to answer any questions, you will learn everything there is to know about wind turbines. In addition, a panoramic terrace overlooks the Le Nordais wind farm as well as Cap-Chat, the sea and the Chic-Chocs mountains!
