Perce, Quebec—Gaspe. This is our last day in the Gaspe
and I will miss this very beautiful part
of North America.
In 2009 the National Geographic Society designated the
Gaspesie as the third most beautiful
destination in the world. After being here for six days I can understand
the rational of such a decision.
The first two nights were in Metis-sur-Mer. The main
attraction there was the Redford Gardens. The next two nights were in
Cap-aux-Os where we visited the Forillon National Park. The views were
breathtaking and whale watching was splendid. We did have to dry camp for those
two days but we had a great spot on the water. Yesterday we moved 62 miles on
to Perce, a beautiful village with great restaurants and shops. Last night we
had dinner at La Maison du Pecheur. This is the place Frances Shea told us
about where the radicals plotted to assassinate the Prime Minister in 1970. The
attempt failed but a high ranking Quebec Minister was killed. The food was
fantastic.
Homestead of a family in the late 1800's. They were cod fisherman, catching and drying tons of cod to ship back to England and France.
