Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula is one of Canada's best kept secrets. Instead of getting the same photos of Banff and Peggy's Cove that everyone has, try heading to La Belle Province for exceptional scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities.
There are dozens of reasons to visit La Belle Province (that's “The Beautiful Province” for those who lack even obvious French and it refers to Quebec, for those who lack a Canadian heritage). The fresh seafood, the people, the rich culture, the European vibe, the cheese, the cities, the cathedrals, the art, the skiing, the ice hotel, the marine life, the fjords, the smoked meats, the wildlife, the camping, the hiking…well, I could go on but suffice it to say, je t'aime Quebec.
The Gaspé Peninsula offers a combination of all the best French food and culture, with a maritime twist and outstanding scenery at every turn. From marine wildlife viewing opportunities to the iconic pierced rock in Percé, here is a small sampling of the wonders to behold (and photograph!) in this amazing region.
