Percé

Percé on the Gaspé Peninsula is known for its coastal landscape and the iconic Percé Rock. The Rocher Percé, a massive limestone monolith with a natural arch, is the region's landmark. The nearby Île Bonaventure is home to one of the world's largest northern gannet sanctuaries – a paradise for birdwatchers. Historically an important fishing center, this maritime character still shapes the town today. For wildlife observation and exploring the coast by boat, the summer months of June to August are ideal.
