Description

A recreation of downtown Gaspé as it was in the 1900s: a heritage house, a warehouse, a naval base, a general store, the Jacques Cartier Cross, a souvenir shop, and a tavern serving refreshments, local beers, and spirits. Cultural and community events bring this place to life every day during the summer. The Cradle of Canada—the perfect place to relax!
