Gaspésie Accessible

Enjoy Gaspésie with Accessible Services

Traveling with a disability or limitations often requires extra planning. In Gaspésie, we aim to make this easier so everyone can experience the region in their own way. Whether you need to avoid stairs, limit mobility, or benefit from adapted facilities, accessible options are available.

Around one hundred businesses already offer recognized accessible facilities, including accommodations, restaurants, attractions, and activities. To find them easily, use the search filters on our website. The offer is constantly evolving, with new services and establishments joining each year.

Although winter can be challenging, the region can be explored nearly year-round. Simply taking the road, following the coastline, and crossing the mountains provides a true change of scenery.
