All lovers of the great outdoors and nature will find happiness in Canada. Here nature comes in the finest forms: endless glaciers, mountains, and forests… An incredible breath of fresh air awaits you in Canada. Everything here is XXL – 40 times the size of the UK, 4 time zones, 4 million square miles – all in one of the least densely populated countries in the world. In a place this big, how do you find your way in planning your stay in Canada? Don't worry, your local travel agent, a specialist of this destination selected by Evaneos, will help you find it. In Canada, nature is the centre of everything, and the country changes its face every season… You get to choose what you want for your trip around Canada! During a self-drive tour in Canada, you’ll be dazzled by colours and landscapes as far as the eye can see. But that’s not all: the majesty of these sights will be matched only by the hospitality and friendliness of Canadians. Canadian culture is rich, and it has been shaped by various influences: of course by Native Americans, the country’s first inhabitants, as well as by Europeans, the French, the English, and now by those who have come over from the United States. Breathe it in and enjoy it: Welcome to Canada!

Located at the end of the Gaspé Peninsula, the regional capital, Gaspé is just bursting with charm. Its geographical location, facing the Atlantic Ocean, amid forests, mountains and cliffs, make it a must-see place.  It is known as the birthplace of Canada and you can visit the fascinating Musée de la Gaspésie. Fans of sport fishing will be delighted to know that there are three salmon rivers which flow into the ocean around Gaspé. When you're <a href="/canada/">travelling in Canada</a>, this is your perfect chance to try some summer fishing!

We arrived in Gaspé for the Festival Musique du Bout du Monde, the music festival at the end of the world, in glorious weather. The main street, the Rue de la Reine, is closed to vehicles for the festival. We came across tightrope walkers, street artists, musicians, and slacklining workshops for children and adults, all in a fun and festive atmosphere. I have very fond memories of time spent in Gaspé as we also saw some people who we'd previously met at the start of our <a href="/canada/">Canadian road trip.</a> The Lemon Bucket Orchestra, whom we had discovered during the previous stag of our trip, near Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, provided another opportunity for us to dance in the street. We also tried the delicious food at the Brûlerie du Café des Artistes, a restaurant that I strongly recommend. Gaspé was the only town on the peninsula where we went to the beach, and the fine, sandy beach is the ideal location to spend some time beside the seaside.

The town of Gaspé is perfectly located at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, between Forillon National Park and l’Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé National Park.
