You must experience Gaspé at least once in
your lifetime. To see a magnificent whale breach the ocean's surface or see
the sunrise on the ocean and set on the mountaintops, to smell the fresh salt
air or wildflowers. To walk on a beach and feel the warm sand and cool sea water
on your feet. To taste seafood fresh from the ocean! To hear the ocean's waves
washing over the beaches and shores or to hear a seagull making its now familiar
calls. This is to have truly realized your senses!
This site is mainly dedicated to generating interest in the Gaspé Region.
Gaspé is located in Eastern Canada on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula. The Town
of Gaspé covers 975 km², with 92 km of coastline exposed to the Gulf of St.
Lawrence.
The population of Gaspé is approximately 17,500. In earlier times the majority
of Gaspesians were English-speaking, today 85% of its population is now French
speaking. Visitors to the region will notice the warm welcome of Gaspesians,
whether English or French speaking, is proverbial.
Hello, my name is Michael LeBoutillier. I was born in Gaspé in 1959 and moved
to Montréal with my family, in 1970. While residing in Montréal, I never considered
moving back to Gaspé, although I visited at least once each summer and loved
every minute of it! After spending 26 years in Montréal, an opportunity arose
for me to move back to my hometown, Gaspé. Of course, I could not pass it up!
I moved back in June 1996 and recently made Gaspé a more permanent home by purchasing
a house near beautiful Haldimand Beach.
Gaspé possesses one of the most beautiful coastlines on earth. To learn more
