Agricultural tourism is a unique way to discover the Gaspésie, the legendary warmth of its inhabitants and agricultural operations that throw their doors wide open for visitors. Visit the livestock and produce farms and taste the local products. Whether you prefer the regional cuisine and its little homemade dishes or the gourmet meals served with refinements, everywhere you go, the fresh Gaspésie products have the place of honor.

Their very delicate flavour awakens the taste buds of the finest gourmets and there are many good Gaspesian restaurants that will prepared them for you. Come taste the delicious and very popular new food "art" trends: emu products, goat cheeses, sea product mousses, lumpfish caviar, maple jelly, different smoked fish and seafood products, dry salted fish, lamb, honey products...
