Fishing: a Necessary Trade in Gaspésie

Acknowledged by Heritage Canada, the Site Historique du Banc-de-Pêche-de-Paspébiac is made of 11 buildings that were once owned by the two most important Jersey companies of the time: the Robin and the LeBoutillier Brothers, who produced and exported dry-salted cod. During your visit, you will have the chance to realize how important fishing has been to the region for the past two centuries.

You can also visit the permanent exhibition Paspébiac, capitale de la pêche en Gaspésie (Paspébiac, Gaspésie's fishing capital) and the multimedia show Entre gestes et mémoires (Between gestures and memories). In addition to the exhibitions, a restaurant, a playground area for children as well as a souvenir shop are also part of the site.
