The Itinerary
South of Percé, Route 132 leaves the Gulf for the Baie-des-Chaleurs — one of the world's most beautiful bays per the Most Beautiful Bays Club. Warm water (up to 21°C in summer), fine sand beaches and Acadian villages define this lesser-known stretch of Gaspésie.
Chandler, a former paper-mill town, keeps an active wharf and the Le Bourg de Pabos site — a reconstructed 18th-century Acadian fishing post. Grande-Rivière is a traditional cod port. Newport, paradise for surf-casting and Grand Pabos River salmon, marks the entry to the more pastoral landscapes of Rocher-Percé MRC.
