Gaspe Perce

I drove my car around Gaspé Peninsula at the Atlantic shore of Quebec in early September. The road goes between the shoreline and mountains where people live in a narrow strip of a flat land between Atlantic Ocean and Appalachian mountains. The area is not overpopulated and one may still feel a spirit of the powerful ocean. Fishing was a traditional business there and tourism was developed later.
Historically, Gaspé Peninsula was a place where Jacques Cartier landed in Gaspé Bay in 1534. He found then that the area was occupied by Iroquoian-speaking native people.
