Tips and Tricks

The Gaspésie begins in Sainte-Flavie or Mont-Joli via Highway 20, where Route 132 splits into two to form an itinerary loop of 885 km.

It was at this point that you must choose your route: South or North.

There is no better route, you are assured of magnificent views, from one side to the other.

The Gaspésie covers 30 340.6 km2, and its population numbers 132 700 inhabitants. This area roughly corresponds to that of Belgium, which, however, has a population of 10 million souls.


The Peninsula is bordered by the North by the St. Lawrence estuary, to the South by the Chaleur Bay and to the East by the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

This vast territory is divided into five regions: The Coast, the Haute-Gaspésie, Land's End, the Chaleur Bay and the Matapédia Valley.
