Follow in the footsteps of French explorer Jacques Cartier on this delightful walking tour of downtown Gaspé.

During your walk, you’ll discover Gaspé’s historical and cultural heritage through the architecture and commemorative art that evokes the past. Step back in time and rediscover Gaspé as you hear tales of the indigenous inhabitants of the land and how Jacques Cartier laid claim to the area. The cross that Cartier erected in Gaspé in 1954 and which can still be seen today, earned the town the distinction of being named the ‘birthplace’ of Canada.

A highly diverse cultural mosaic, Gaspé encompasses myriad landscapes and is home to people of many different cultural backgrounds.
