Parc national de Forillon

At the extreme northeastern tip of the Gaspé peninsula lies the national park Forillon with an area of 93 mi² (240 km²), which is considered one of the most scenic ones in all of Canada: cliffs rise abruptly from the Atlantic, thousands of cormorants, puffins and gulls nest here. With a little luck you can watch whales and seals off the coast. On extensive terraces the land descends from the north-west to the shores of the St-Laurent.
Inland moose, deer, black bears, foxes, beavers and coyotes... live under the cover of majestic pine forests. Their tracks are visible along the varied trails in many places. Not only the beauty of nature, but also historical sites are protected in this park, and so one of the most beautiful trails starts at a fishing village whose houses from the 19th century have been restored with loving care. more
