Percé - Percé

Nahaja se na vzhodnem koncu Percé je živahno turistično središče Ljubljane Polotok Gaspé. Čeprav je ponosen član Najlepše vasi v Quebecu(Association des plus beaux vasi du Québec), Percé je sprva morda nenaklonjen: gneča, lepljive prodajalne spominkov, neskončni moteli ob cesti in gîtesin raznovrstna turistična prevara je neskladen kontrast z veličastno kuliso vzdolž ceste 132, v kateri so obiskovalci verjetno preživeli zadnjih nekaj ur ali dni v pijači. Ampak za razburjenje obstaja dober razlog: Percé Rock(Rocher Percé)obalna skalnata tvorba v obliki loka, po kateri je mesto dobilo ime, je čudovito naravno čudo, ki je postalo ikonični simbol polotoka Gaspé in vsako leto privabi na tisoče obiskovalcev. To in v bližini Otok Bonaventure(Île Bonaventure), množična plemenska kolonija za različne vodne ptice, ki predstavlja atrakcijo Percéja (in polotoka Gaspé), Otok Bonaventure in narodni park Percé Rock(Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé).

Percé Rock

Leta 1971 so se meje Percéja razširile na sedanjo velikost, ko so okoliške vasi v Barachois, Bridgeville, Cap-d'Espoir, in Saint-Pierre-de-la-Malbaie so bili združeni v mesto. Domačini še vedno občasno uporabljajo stara imena, vendar so v tem članku zajete vse znamenitosti in druge zanimivosti v teh nekdanjih krajih.

Percé je zelo sezonska destinacija. Turistična sezona traja približno od sredine junija do konca septembra, v tem času so ulice, trgovine, restavracije in prenočišča pogosto nadležno zasedeni. Večina podjetij in atrakcij je odprtih tudi med sezonami od sredine maja do sredine junija in od konca septembra do sredine oktobra, v nekaterih primerih pa skrajšane ure. Vendar se lahko zunaj sezone Percé zdi skoraj kot mesto duhov. Če se pozimi znajdete v mestu, spletno mesto Počitniški cilj Percé (glejte spodnji razdelek »Informacije o obiskovalcih«) vsebuje popoln pregled dejavnosti in storitev, ki so odprte vse leto; ti se močno usmerjajo v zimske športe, kot so vožnja z motornimi sanmi, krpljanje in sankanje s psi.

Percé se ponaša s približno 3.300 prebivalci, ki so zbrani v verigi vasi, razporejenih vzdolž obale.

Zgodovina

Območje Percé je bilo stoletja ribolovno območje za lokalno prebivalstvo Mi'kmaq-a, Evropejcem pa je bilo znano že v 17. stoletju (raziskovalec Samuel de Champlain je leta 1603 opazil in poimenoval Percé Rock, območje pa je služilo kot postanek za ladje, ki so se odpravile v Quebec City). Toda šele v začetku 19. stoletja se je začelo stalno naselje. Sprva je bil Percé mirna ribiška vasica kot mnogi njegovi sosedje na polotoku Gaspé, toda po tem, ko se je Percé Rock v začetku 20. stoletja pojavil na radarskih zaslonih popotnikov, je turizem začel postopoma prevzemati mesto kot gospodarski stolp v mestu. Med drugo svetovno vojno je kraljeva kanadska mornarica v Percéju upravljala pomembno brezžično prestrezno postajo, ki je bila odgovorna za odkrivanje nacističnih podmornic, ki plujejo v vodah ob vzhodni obali Kanade.

Informacije o obiskovalcih

Počitniški cilj Percé je spletno mesto Turistično informacijski center Percé(Bureau d'accueil touristique de Percé).

Otok Bonaventure in narodni park Percé Rock

Otok Bonaventure in narodni park Percé Rock ležijo v celoti v mestu Percé, zato se jim morate zahvaliti za vse prodajalne daril, ljubki gîtesin množice turistov tukaj. Kapljice bogatih ljudi, ki so začeli prihajati k Percé Rocku okoli preloma stoletja, so po drugi svetovni vojni postale enakomeren potok, leta 1971 pa je vlada Quebeca kupila otok Bonaventure in ga spremenila v narodni park. Percé Rock je bil dodan tri leta kasneje. Danes park vsako leto obišče 60.000 ljudi.

Poleg dveh naslovnih komponent, ki sta podrobneje opisani spodaj, otok Bonaventure in narodni park Percé Rock vključujeta tudi Charles Robin Sektor(Sektor Charles-Robin), sestavljeno iz peščice natančno obnovljenih skladišč iz 19. stoletja ob pristanišču, ki jih je zgradil Charles Robin, podjetnik iz Jersey in oče ustanovitelj Percéja, katerega velika ribiška družba je bila glavni igralec ribolova polenovke v zalivu Saint Lawrence. Danes so v teh stavbah park Discovery Center v parku, Muzej Le Chafaud (glej spodaj) in La Saline, sejna dvorana, kjer osebje parka prireja posebne prireditve.

Otok Bonaventure in narodni park Percé Rock sta ne kanadski narodni park - kljub imenu ga vodi Quebec provincialni storitev parka. Zato vaš Park Parks Canada Discovery Pass tukaj ne ustreza, če pa ga imate Letni parki Quebec Network Card, vaš vstop je prost. (Če ga nimate in nameravate obiskati druge dele Quebeca, je to morda pametna naložba: Mreža parkov Quebec vključuje na desetine parkov, rezervate divjih živali in druge znamenitosti, ki se nahajajo v vseh delih pokrajine.)

Za tiste, ki nimajo letne vozovnice, je vstopnina 7,50 USD za odrasle in 3,25 USD za otroke med 6. in 17. letom. Tisti, mlajši od 5 let, dobijo brezplačno. Na voljo so tudi popusti za družine (10,75 USD za odraslo osebo in otroke; 15 USD za dve odrasli osebi in otroke). Parkirišče znaša 10 USD za avtomobile in avtodome in 6 USD za motorna kolesa ne pokrito z mrežno kartico Parks Quebec. Leta 2017 je bil park odprt vsak dan od 9.00 do 16.00 od 22. maja do 9. oktobra in do 17. ure med vrhunsko turistično sezono od 5. junija do 16. septembra.

Obnovljene ribiške koče iz 19. stoletja v kraju L'Anse à Butler na otoku Bonaventure.
  • 1 Otok Bonaventure (Bole Bonaventure). Raj za ljubitelje ptic, otok Bonaventure, je približno 4 km² (1.000 hektarjev) od obale Percéja, ki je najbolj znano kot gnezdišče približno ducat vrst morskih ptic selivk. Tu boste našli kormorane, puffine, murres in najbolj znano, največjo in najlažje dostopno kolonijo severnih gannets, s 100.000 pticami. Po kratki vožnji z ladjo se boste izkrcali na L'Anse à Butler na zahodni strani otoka, pred seboj pa boste videli kopico starih hiš s ploščami: preden je bil zaščiteno naravno zatočišče, je bil otok Bonaventure kraj majhne, ​​a uspešne ribiške skupnosti in družine prednikov domovi, ki so jih pustili za seboj, so bili v celoti obnovljeni z verodostojnimi ljudskimi gradbenimi metodami in arhitekturnimi značilnostmi. Potem se lahko prosto zabavate: otok se ponaša z različnimi pokrajinami in pokrajinami, vključno z ljubkimi polji, osamljenimi piknik kraji in slikovitimi pogledi, ki gledajo nazaj na obalo ali zunaj odprtega oceana, pa boste serenadirani. ves čas s pritožbenimi pesmimi ptic. To so znamenitosti, zvoki in vonji (v dobrem in slabem - vonj divjih cvetov je čudovit; ptičji iztrebki ne toliko) nekdanjega polotoka Gaspé. Preden zapustite otok Bonaventure, se ne pozabite ustaviti na restavracija ob pristanišču nekaj njihove znane ribje juhe. 
  • 2 Percé Rock (Rocher Percé). Ta velikanski kamniti monolit je naravno čudo, ki je za popotnike postalo skoraj sinonim za sam polotok Gaspé. Od daleč pravijo, da je Percé Rock videti kot ladja pod jadrom, vendar se nekoliko približajte in videli boste 20-metrski (66-metrski) naravni lok, ki je skozi njegovo podlago prebijal skalo - od tod tudi njegovo ime, kar pomeni "prebodena skala". Nekaj ​​metrov (čevljev) od glavnega dela boste videli Obelisk(L'Obélisque), samotni morski sklad, ki je bil včasih podnožje drugega loka, ki se je podrl po manjšem potresu leta 1845. Večino ljudi Percé Rock obišče z ladjo, toda ob oseki je tja mogoče priti z obale (najdete lahko urnik plimovanja v turistično informacijskem centru). Če se peš odpravite na skalo Percé, bodite pozorni na čas in pazite na padajoče kamenje, saj je erozija tu nenehno življenje - vendar izkoristite priložnost, da preverite 150 vdelanih fosiliziranih morskih bitij v prosojnih apnenčastih skalah, relikvije iz devonskega obdobja pred približno 400 milijoni leti. 

Središče mesta in okolica

  • Za ljubitelje na prostem narodni park ni vse, kar lahko ponudi Percé. V gorah za mestnim jedrom je trio znamenitosti, ki so pohodnikom dostopne na mreži poti za mestom (q.v.):
  • 3 Grotto (La Grotte) (1,4 km [0,9 milje] mimo poti, preko chemin de la Grotte). Njegovo ime ni ravno natančno, a vseeno je lepo: to ni jama, ampak prijeten slap, ugnezden v niši med Mont Sainte-Anne in Mont Blanc, kjer se gorski potok spušča čez steno rdeče skale v plitek bazen. Vse to se dogaja v polkrožnem naravnem amfiteatru, kjer - v skladu z zgodovino teh gora kot katoliškega romarskega središča (glej spodaj) - kipi Device Marije in druge verske kroglice. 
Mont Sainte-Anne se nad pristaniščem blizu skale Percé nahaja v središču mesta Percé.
  • 4 Mont Sainte-Anne (1,8 kilometra [1,1 milje] mimo poti po cesti Chemin de la Grotte; zavijte levo pri chemin du Mont-Sainte-Anne in nadaljujte do konca poti). V 17. stoletju znan kot "Rolandova miza" (La Table à Roland) zaradi njegovega ravnega vrha je dih jemajoče veličanstvo Mont Sainte-Anne postalo versko območje že stoletja Gaspezijcev: od Mi'kmaqov, ki so sem pripeljali novorojene otroke svojega plemena, da bi jih predstavili bogu sonca, do 19. in v začetku 20. leta stoletja, bhakte Québécois sv. Ane, ki bi tam romali 26. julija. Danes lahko pohodniki sledijo njihovim stopinjam in uživajo v čudovitem razgledu na mesto in na L'Anse-à-Beaufils, skalo Percé in otok Bonaventure. 
  • 5 Mont Blanc (4,7 kilometra [2,9 milje] mimo poti čez chemin de la Grotte, chemin du Mont-Ste-Anne, sentier des Sources, sentier des Pieds-Croches in sentier de la Crevasse). To je daljši pohod na Mont Blanc kot Grotto ali Mont Sainte-Anne, vendar se splača: Sentier de la Crevasse pot vas pelje ob globoki špranji ob strani gore, ki na višini približno 300 m naravnost navzdol omogoča vrtoglavo doživetje. Mont Blanc je nekoliko višji od Mont Sainte-Anne; njen vrh je dostopen po strmi makadamski poti, ki se začne na koncu sentier de la Crevasse in ponuja čudovit razgled na gaspezijsko obalo severno od Percéja in do odprtega oceana. 
  • 6 Svetilnik Cap-Blanc (Phare du Cap-Blanc) (Izven ceste 132, 2,5 km južno od središča mesta). Ta slikovito dovršen svetilnik je visok 7 m (24 čevljev) in je bil zgrajen leta 1915, da bi nadomestil prejšnjo zgradbo iz leta 1874. Čeprav ne deluje več, je nekoč sijala svetloba tega osmerokotnega, trmastega rdeče-belega svetilnika. za 24 km (15 milj), opozorilne ladje stran od skalnih plitvin Bela glava(Cap Blanc) južno od Percéja. Dežela, kjer stoji svetilnik Cap-Blanc, je danes del Camping du Phare à Percé kamp; medtem ko so prostori nominalno zaprti za obiskovalce, je osebje kampa ponavadi strpno do ljudi, ki se na kratko odpravijo na trenutke.

Ribolov

Vode v Percéju in okolici preplavljajo ribe in morsko življenje različnih opisov. Če igrate na enem izmed različnih pristanišč in marin po mestu, boste verjetno imeli največ sreče pri ulovu skuše julija in avgusta. Tudi postrvi in ​​lososa je v notranjosti rek veliko, toda za razliko od prejšnjega scenarija so potrebna provincialna dovoljenja (dostopna so na številnih mestih po mestu) in ob upoštevanju sezonskih omejitev.

Potapljanje

  • 5 Jahtni klub Percé (Club nautique de Percé), 199, pot 132, ☏ 1 418-782-5403. Jahtni klub Percé je najpomembnejši epicenter polotoka na polotoku Gaspé.

Plaža

Ko se želite odmoriti od pustolovščin in preživeti dan, ko lenarite na plaži, imate dve možnosti, 6 Plaža Coin-du-Banc in 7 Plaža Cap-d'Espoir, severno oziroma južno od središča mesta. Cap-d'Espoir je sicer manjši, vendar je poleti precej gneče; to je stran letnice Festi-Plage glasbeni festival in ponuja tudi klopi za piknik in garderobe. Medtem pa na dolgi peščeni verigi Coin-du-Banc pogosto ostanemo samo vi, tresljajoči valovi in ​​osupljiva obmorska pokrajina.

Pohodništvo

Od vetrovnih polj in vremensko pretepenih gozdov Otok Bonaventure do razgibanih gora v notranjosti območje Percé ponuja različne pokrajine za pohodnike.

  • Kot nalašč za začetnike, Otok Bonaventure ima 15 km (9 milj) pohodniških poti lažje vmesne stopnje težavnosti, ki se ponašajo s slikovitimi pogledi na čudovite Percé Rock, v ogromno gnezdilno kolonijo severnih gannets na otoku in nad odprto morje (pazite na kite!) Chemin du Roy pot je hrbtenica mreže: kroži večino poti okoli otoka in objame obalo s pristanišča turističnih čolnov na L'Anse à Butler do L'Anse Chatouilleuse, razdalja 4,7 km (2,9 milje). Medtem pa Sentier des Mousses, Sentier des Colonies, in Sentier Paget so nekoliko težje: prečkajo gozdnato, nekoliko hribovitejšo notranjost otoka in se na obeh koncih povezujejo s Chemin du Roy. Ne glede na to, katero pot izberete, je nujno, da se pred zadnjim izletom z ladjo vrnete na pristanišče pri L'Anse à Butler, sicer boste prenočili!
Percé Rock, otok Bonaventure in središče mesta Percé, kot je razvidno iz Mont Sainte-Anne.
  • Kljub vzponu za več kot 300 m (1000 čevljev) je tudi po njem relativno enostavno Poti Mont-Sainte-Anne in Mont Blanc[prej mrtva povezava](Sentiers du Mont Sainte-Anne in du Mont Blanc) (povezana karta samo v francoščini): poti so asfaltirane ali dobro urejene umazanije, ki se v pogostih intervalih ponašajo s počivališči, umivalnicami in klopmi za piknik. Razprostira se po gorah v notranjosti od središča mesta, to je mreža 13 km (8 milj) medsebojno povezanih poti, ki se začne na zadnjem delu parkirišča za 3 Katoliška cerkev sv. Mihaela(Église St-Michel) pri 57, rue de l'Église. Sekundarni vhod tik ob cesti 132 severno od središča mesta je kot nalašč za tiste, ki prihajajo ali odhajajo iz Mont Blanca. Poleg njihovih istoimenskih zanimivosti opisano zgoraj, same poti se ponašajo tudi s panoramskimi razgledi, ki zajemajo velik del vzhodne obale Gaspezije in narodnega parka. Na jasen dan lahko celo vidite otok Miscou v New Brunswicku.
  • Skrit v gorah za mestnim središčem (nekoliko dlje od Mont Sainte-Anne in Mont Blanc), Route des Failles se razteza od majhnega zaselka Cannes-de-Roches do južnega konca mestnega jedra. Route des Failles je asfaltirana cesta, ki jo je mogoče prehoditi peš, s kolesom ali z avtomobilom - vendar bodite izjemno previdni, če uporabljate vozilo, saj je to izjemno ukrivljena cesta, ki vključuje približno pol ducata las zavije v samo 5,7 km (3,5 milje) razdalje. Toda za pohodnike, ki se lahko spoprimejo s spremembami višine, je nagrada Route des Failles vredna truda: na vrhu je ekstravaganca osupljivih panoramskih gorskih in morskih pokrajin (od tu pa Percé Rock ni mogoče videti).
  • Še bolj od središča mesta lahko še posebej navdušeni pohodniki uživajo v obsežnejšem mreža poti[prej mrtva povezava] (povezan zemljevid samo v francoščini), ki se razteza skozi obrobje Percéja. Dve komponenti sta:
  • Gorska pot(Sentier des montagnes), ki je krajši, a težji od obeh: teče 14 km (8,7 milj) od 4 Auberge de Gargantua, kjer je povezan z Route des Failles in mrežo poti Mont Sainte-Anne / Mont Blanc, do ribiškega pristanišča v L'Anse-à-Beaufils, z več strmimi vzponi in spusti ob poti. Tisti, ki so jim bili všeč čudoviti alpski razgledi na Route des Failles, bodo tu našli več podobnega: slikoviti razgledi in možnosti fotografiranja prihajajo hitro in besno, ko se prebijate od vrha do vrha, s čudovitim razgledom na skalnate gore in nedotaknjeno obalo. . Za veliki finale se pot spušča po Côte de la Fourche in sledi brnečemu potoku proti jugu proti obali, kjer se konča ob ...
  • Rečna pot(Sentier des rivières), 27 km (16,7 milj) enostavnega pohodništva, ki vodi proti severu do Coin-du-Banc. Najprej se povzpnete po mirni dolini reke L'Anse-à-Beaufils (večkrat jo prečkate po petih čudovitih mostovih), ko se odpravite proti severu do Val-d'Espoir. Nato prečkate nekaj sorazmerno lahko prehodnih gričev, sledite paru bukoličnih gorskih potokov in mimo čudovitega slapa na očarljivo in primerno imenovanem Smaragdna reka(Rivière aux émeraudes) preden konča na parkirišču nekaj sto metrov (približno tretjino milje) od ceste 132.

If you're visiting Percé in autumn and plan to hike, please note that hunting season runs from late September through mid-November. During those times, it is essential to wear bright-coloured clothing and take other sensible precautions. This doesn't apply on Bonaventure Island, where hunting is prohibited per the regulations of the national park.

Opazovanje ptic

Bird life is abundant in Percé — especially on Bonaventure Island, home of the world's largest colony of northern gannets.

Aside from the obvious answer (Bonaventure Island), there are a number of other places around Percé where an abundance of bird life can be found, such as Cap-d'Espoir, Pointe-Saint-Pierre, in Malbaie Lagoon(Barachois de Malbaie) in Coin-du-Banc. In addition to the famous northern gannets, Percé is home to a number of different types of migratory birds including puffins, red-necked grebes, and various species of scoters, guillemots, mockingbirds, and warblers.

With a mission of promoting the awareness and conservation of bird life in the region, the Gaspé Birdwatchers' Club(Club des ornithologues de la Gaspésie) (website in French only) is an exhaustive source of information and organizer of activities for birders in Percé and all over the area. The club frequently hosts birdwatching excursions at sites throughout the Gaspé Peninsula, and their website contains a comprehensive list of migratory species that frequent the area and their usual times of arrival, as well as information for winter birdwatchers. Membership is open to all.

V zimskem času

Though the Gaspé Peninsula has been recognized in the pages of National Geographic magazine as one of the top winter destinations in North America, Percé in particular is very much a seasonal town that largely shuts down after the end of October. If you're in town during the cold-weather months, the website Holiday Destination Percé ima comprehensive list of the handful of attractions, lodgings and services that do remain open in the offseason.

  • Aux Jardins de l'Anse[mrtva povezava] (website in French only) is a charming gîte (bed and breakfast) that operates dog-sledding excursions between January and March. Call 1 418-782-2294 for details.
  • As well, the Mont Sainte-Anne and Mont Blanc hiking trails (glej zgoraj) are open to snowshoers in the winter.

Nakup

There's something about Percé that inflames the creative spirit — actually, it's not hard to figure out why; the magnificent landscapes and the allure of the sea are full of infectious enchantment. At any rate, the work of local artists and artisans figures heavily into the stock of Percé's many souvenir stores. Handmade jewelry is another frequent find, often made with semiprecious stones found on local beaches, such as agate, jasper, onyx, and (if you're lucky) gaspeite, a rare greenish mineral unique to the Gaspé Peninsula.

Town centre and around

  • 1 Agate et Caillou, 67, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2098. Vsak dan od 9.00 do 18.00. Jewellery and decorative baubles designed and produced in-house using a variety of gems and stones of local origin: agate, jasper, onyx, labradorite, gaspeite, petrified wood, and more. Or even if you're just wondering what the weird-looking stone is that you found on the beach, the folks at Agate et Caillou will identify it for you. 
  • 2 Au Bon Secours, 150, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2011. The oldest continually operating souvenir shop in Percé, open since 1930 in a former drugstore a stone's throw from the harbour, sells a mixed bag of merchandise including clothes, touristy souvenirs, and decorative tchotchkes including carved stone figurines of seabirds by local artist Suzanne Tétreault-Massé. 
  • 3 Boutique de la Mer, 5, rue de l'Église, ☏ 1 418-782-2011. This extravagantly decorated little shop just off the main drag in downtown Percé sells fashionable ladies' clothes, a bevy of brightly coloured lawn and garden decorations, and other gifts and souvenirs of all kinds. 
  • 4 Boutique Nature, La Neigère, rue du Quai, ☏ 1 418-782-2240. Daily 9AM-5PM, May 30-Sep 23; till 9PM Jun 27-Aug 26. Run by Sépaq as the official gift shop of Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock National Park, Boutique Nature is in a converted waterfront warehouse that dates to the 19th century. On sale is a treasure trove of literature and visitor information on all aspects of the national park, as well as works by local artists and artisans and souvenirs of varying descriptions. 
  • 5 Donald Cahill Art Gallery (Galerie d'art Donald-Cahill), 424, route 132, ☏ 1 581-353-1003. Displays the seaside landscapes and other maritime-themed paintings of Donald Cahill, a native Percéen who moonlights as the captain of a whale-watching boat. Other artists working in a variety of media are also represented. Prints are sold. Spletno mesto samo v francoščini. Open during off-season. 
  • 6 La Marée Basse, 153, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2823. The handcrafted work of local artisans is the order of the day at this gift shop in the heart of Percé's town centre: everything from paintings and decorative baubles to stylish, one-of-a-kind clothes and jewellery fashioned from local agate. 
  • 7 La Marinière, 162, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-5480. True to its name, the stuff that's on offer at La Marinière tends to have a maritime theme: the clothes boast more than their fair share of loud horizontal stripes and anchor motifs, and Marie-Josée Tommi's carved gannet figurines are a hot seller as well. Handbags, artisan jewellery, and homey souvenirs complete the picture. 
  • 8 Mylène Henry Studio and Gallery (Atelier-Galerie Mylène-Henry), 224, route 132, ☏ 1 514-793-3443. M-F 9AM-5PM. A native Gaspésienne, Mylène Henry's local landscape scenes are realized in a brightly coloured, cartoonlike, somewhat surreal aesthetic that is shared with her work as an illustrator of children's books — the other half of her artistic career. In addition to her original paintings, Mylène's gallery at the south end of Percé town centre sells copies of those books, as well as postcards, greeting cards, and calendars adorned with her work. Spletno mesto samo v francoščini. 
  • 9 Wazo, 6, rue de l'Église, ☏ 1 418-782-5700. M-F 10AM-6PM, May; daily 8:30AM-9PM, Jun through mid-Sep; daily 10AM-6PM, mid-Sep through mid-Oct, by appointment the rest of the year. Though Martin Boucher Arsenault now runs about a half-dozen Wazo boutiques all over the Gaspé Peninsula and elsewhere in Quebec, the Percé location, located in the heart of downtown, is the original. Art jewellery is the name of the game here: the artist draws on his mixed Amerindian/Acadian heritage as well as forms found in the natural world to create earrings, pendants, bracelets, and other pieces in bold, unique designs that are respectful of the diversity of source materials he uses (gold and silver, semiprecious stones native to the area, even coral and starfish found on local beaches). You can choose from a range of preexisting designs in stock — the "Peace & Love" medallion, commissioned by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté, is undoubtedly the best-known of these — or Martin will work with you to custom-design a piece of your very own. Spletno mesto samo v francoščini. 

L'Anse-à-Beaufils

  • 10 [mrtva povezava]La Fabrique d'Antan, 676, route 132, ☏ 1 418-645-5315. This is where renowned artisan Pascal Riopel offers unique, high-quality cabinets and other rustic furniture, handmade onsite using only traditional designs and methods — hence the name of his store, which in English translates to something like "the workshop of yesteryear". You can also pick up charming folk art, handmade pottery, and vintage tchotchkes in an appropriately rustic setting about midway between L'Anse-à-Beaufils and Percé town centre. Spletno mesto samo v francoščini. 
  • 11 Le Sablier Collection Studio and Boutique (Atelier-Boutique Collection le Sablier), 14, rue à Bonfils, ☏ 1 418-782-2964.

Barachois

  • 12 Margot Mérette Studio (Atelier Margot-Mérette), 1247, route 132, ☏ 1 418-360-3774. Open year-round by appointment. A graphic designer by trade, Margot Mérette's passion for painting and sculpture ignited during her college days at UQAM and has now come to full fruition in her second career. At her studio in Barachois, she'll show you some selections from her collection of acrylic paintings — dreamlike fantasy scenes that shine in vibrant, radiant colours and celebrate the harmonious cooperation of man and nature — and you'll take a walk through an outdoor sculpture garden, a "lost paradise" (in the words of her website) of carved driftwood and whimsical works in ceramic. Spletno mesto samo v francoščini.

Eating in Percé is all about separating the wheat from the chaff. Sure, by and large the restaurants here serve the kind of overpriced, lackluster fare typical of tourist towns. But a little bit of searching — especially outside the town centre — will turn up some really nice dining experiences. When in doubt, ask a local.

Also, if you're a fan of seafood, you're in luck: that's all anyone seems to eat here, and it's an experience not to be missed. The cod, salmon, scallops, lobster, and other fruits de mer served up in Percé's restaurants are almost unanimously locally sourced, fresh and delicious.

Town centre and around

  • 1 La Maison Mathilde, 85, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2349. Open Jun-Sep. Owned by the same folks that run the motel next door, the Auberge les Trois Soeurs, La Maison Mathilde is a cozy little place that's far enough from the centre of town to afford diners a bit of quietude, yet not so far as to be inconvenient. Deliciously prepared and exquisitely presented seafood dishes are the name of the game here, with scallops a particular specialty; if you're not a fan of seafood, there's also a range of meat entrées and pasta dishes that, unfortunately, tend not to be quite as good. Local beer is available on tap. Points off for the service, which is hit-or-miss, and the prices, which are a bit high for the somewhat skimpy portion sizes. $35-65. 
  • 2 La Maison du Pêcheur, 155, place du Quai, ☏ 1 418-782-5331. Daily 11AM-2:30PM (lunch) and 5PM-10PM (dinner), Jun-Sep. La Maison du Pêcheur is easily the most upscale fine-dining restaurant in Percé, but you'd never know it from the unassuming exterior: like most of the buildings next to the wharf, this place used to be a fish warehouse; then it spent a period as a youth hostel (check out the 1960s-era FLQ graffiti that remains on the ceiling rafters!) Locally sourced seafood is the crux of the menu here — salmon, halibut, scallops, lobsters, and other delights come in multi-course prix fixe meals or can be ordered po naročilu, and are crafted into some of the most unique, creative selections you'll find anywhere in the Gaspé (cod tongue with sea urchin sauce, for example). Matching the topnotch food is one of the best waterfront views in town, looking out onto Percé Rock in Bonaventure Island. The attentive yet unobtrusive service befits the level of luxury, and the extensive wine list emphasizes European vintages. $35-80. 
  • 3 Les Sacs à Vin, 50, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-1414. There's nothing pretentious to be found at this combination bar, bistro and campground (!) at the north end of Percé town centre — just some of the hugest portions of home-cooked seafood goodies the Gaspé Peninsula has to offer, served up with friendly, folksy verve by a staff headed by a French expat named François. Most visitors to Les Sacs à Vin seem to gravitate toward the lobster, which is some of the cheapest and most delicious around, but there's also a bevy of other local specialties on offer: scallops, smoked salmon (served over fettuccine), maple syrup pie for dessert, and a small slate of Québécois wines. Odprto skozi celo leto. $15-40. 
  • Biard, 99 132 Rte W, ☏ 1 418-782-2873. Fresh seafood and fish. Lobster dinner $30-38, crab, shrimps, etc. Non-seafood items. View of the Percé Rock. (posodobljeno maj 2017)

Bonaventure Island

  • 4 Restaurant des Margaulx, Mauger House, Bonaventure Island. Daily 9AM-5PM, mid-Jun through late Sep; daily 9AM-4PM, late Sep through early Oct. If you've set out for a day of hiking on Bonaventure Island and forgot to pack a lunch, des Margaulx is your answer. Located just at the foot of the dock at L'Anse à Butler, this beautifully restored building served as a fish storehouse back in the days when a small, hardy community of fishermen lived on the island, and the restaurant stays true to its heritage with a hearty yet healthy menu of local seafood specialties, served cafeteria-style. You can get lobster, crab and shrimp sandwiches here as well as heartier entrées, but the specialty of the house that's not to be missed is authentic, old-style Gaspesian fish chowder flavoured with a delectable hint of saffron. 

L'Anse-à-Beaufils

  • 5 Resto de l'Anse, 892, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-5054. Daily 11AM-9PM in season. More popular with locals than the tourist crowd, the bread and butter at this roadside snack bar in L'Anse-à-Beaufils is deep-fried goodies like breaded cod filets, fish and chips, and scallops, as well as poutine, Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, and other Quebec specialties. However, Resto de l'Anse is probably most famous around these parts for their seafood pizza, which they deliver to any location from downtown Percé to Sainte-Thérèse starting at 11AM every morning. Service is friendly and folksy, seating is either indoors or outside on picnic tables, and prices are hard to beat. 
  • Café-Bistro de la Vieille Usine, 55, rue à Bonfils, ☏ 1 418-782-2277. Open May-Sep. Far from the madding crowds of central Percé is found this old fish factory that now wears many hats: art gallery, concert hall, community gathering place, and pleasant terraced bistro serving up some of the finest food the area has to offer. La Vieille Usine is all about Gaspesian cuisine made with Gaspesian ingredients: the menu makes great use of produce and meat from area farms as well as other local artisanal goods (including microbrews on tap from L'Anse-à-Beaufils' own Pit Caribou) to whip up mouth-watering local specialties such as salt cod patties and lobster club sandwiches. Appetizers and other light fare look down-to-earth at first glance but are deceptively sophisticated — there's a cheeseburger on the menu, all right, but it's made with ground lamb from a farm on Chaleur Bay and topped with warm chèvre. The main courses, for their part, begin with creative concoctions incorporating local seafood, but don't end there — there's also a full range of gourmet pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads. The pleasant, airy ambience makes the ever-present crowds bearable, and you can frequently catch live music or other performances. $20-40. 

Barachois

  • 6 Café des Couleurs, 1004, route 132, ☏ 1 418-645-2745. Daily 9AM-5PM, Jun-Sep. This hidden gem is in off-the-beaten-path Barachois, a good distance away from downtown Percé, but it's well worth the trip. Breakfast is the main attraction at Le Café des Couleurs: you can get hot cereal, yoghurt, and standard eggs-and-bacon fare, but the specialty is a range of Belgian waffles that come topped with everything from standard favourites like maple syrup and fruit compote to oddballs like smoked salmon, scallops, and ceviche. Upscale coffee concoctions are abundant. At lunchtime, there's a range of light fare including daily soup and salad specials. The ambience is quiet and pleasant, with walls adorned with the work of local artists. $15-30. 

Pijte

Percé doesn't have a bar scene to speak of. If you're looking to kick back with a tall cold one after a long day of sightseeing and you don't want to do so at a restaurant or your hotel's lounge, you're limited to a pair of options located in the town centre.

Luckily for craft beer fans, though, one of those options is the official outlet for Pit Caribou (website in French only), a microbrewery headquartered in L'Anse-à-Beaufils that turns out about two or three dozen beers sold throughout Quebec and beyond — including the award-winning "Étoile du Brasseur" American brown ale.

Spi

Accommodation is definitely something that Percé is not lacking. There's a huge variety of hotels, motels, campgrounds, and vacation homes to choose from, but for a true Gaspesian experience, it's best to stay at one of the town's charming gîtes (glej spodaj).

Hoteli in moteli

Percé's hotels are clustered mostly on the northern and southern outskirts of the town centre, and with the exception of the Riôtel and a few others, they tend toward the small and the quaint. Most properties offer rooms with a view ofPercé Rock, but it pays to request one in advance as, understandably, those tend to sell out the fastest. On the other hand, for budget travellers it's handy to know that rooms brez ocean views often come at a discount.

Percé's only four-star lodging, the red-roofed "Charming Hotel by the Sea" boasts a postcard-perfect waterfront setting facing Bonaventure Island and the majestic Percé Rock, as well as 45 rooms with a contemporary yet cozy decor and, in most cases, private balconies with ocean views.

A buffet breakfast is served daily in the dining room. Small pets (under 14 kg/30 pounds) are accepted, subject to an additional $30 cleaning fee.

  • 5 Le Panorama, 382, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2208, brez cestnin: 1-800-399-5380. Prijava: 16.00, preveri: 11.00. Open May-Oct. We'll start with the bad: Le Panorama suffers from its somewhat inconvenient location south of the town centre, and its name is a bit of a misnomer: the views of Percé Rock are quite disappointing. That said, the 23 rooms at this reasonably priced roadside motel are all renovated and include coffeemakers, fridges, air conditioning and kitchenettes. There are also four new detached chalets on the property available for guests staying 3 or more nights; these include additional amenities such as flat-screen TVs and full-size kitchens. Heated outdoor pool is open from mid-July to the end of August. Guest laundry is available. Free WiFi Internet. From $109/nt in high season.

Gîtes

The concept of the gîte du passantali preprosto gîte, roughly equates to what is known in the Anglosphere as a bed & breakfast. Vendar gîte seems to be proportionally a more common form of accommodation in Quebec, and nowhere is that truer than in Percé, where they outnumber standard-style hotels by a wide margin. If you're looking for a truly distinctive lodging experience — charmingly decorated rooms with antique furniture and a peaceful ambience, hearty meals each morning, and attentive hosts that take pride in helping their guests make the most of their stay — a gîte may be the option for you. However, if you're a solo traveller or just looking for a place to lay your head for the night, you may feel out of place: gîtes tend to be geared toward romantic couples' getaways or occasionally families with children, and guests may be subject to a minimum length of stay. It pays to call ahead.

  • 8 À la Revasse, 16, rue St-Michel, ☏ 1 418-782-2102, brez cestnin: 1-866-782-2102. Prijava: before 4PM except by prior arrangement. Odprto vse leto. Located in a residential section of Percé town centre, convenient to all the action but secluded enough for guests to enjoy some peace and quiet, À la Revasse is a sturdy old house with five comfy guest rooms, all of which boast private baths and are decorated in a maritime theme. Here, the Tourist Wharf and all the shops and attractions are just a short walk away — ask the knowledgeable owners for tips; they've lived in Percé their whole lives and know the town inside and out — but you can also just relax on the porch or, if it gets nippy, inside by the fireplace. Breakfast in the morning features homemade local favourites, such as blueberry pancakes and old-fashioned chopped pork creton. There's free WiFi, and free parking in the driveway — or, if you've arrived on the Route Verte, there's a shed out back to store your bike. $73-$103/nt in high season. 
  • 9 Gîte du Cap-Blanc, 442, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2555, brez cestnin: 1-888-782-2555. Prijava: between 4PM and 6PM, preveri: 10:00. Situated a short drive (or a relatively easy 25-minute walk) from Percé town centre in the shadow of Cap-Blanc Lighthouse, this charming gîte is the property of Paulette and Carol and their friendly cat Timinne: the most gracious hosts you could want. Here you have your choice of three rooms with a queen bed and a private bath, or two rooms with a full-size bed and shared bath. Breakfast takes place in an airy dining room with huge picture windows looking onto the sea. Nightly rate $80 for one person, $90 for two people, $20 for each additional person.

Here you get your choice of three rooms in the main house, two of which have private baths and all of which come with ocean view, clock radio, hair dryer, luggage rack, robes and slippers, and even a personal iPad computer on request.

  • 11 Au Fil des Saisons, 232, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2666. Prijava: 16.00, preveri: opoldne. Open May-Oct. Au Fil des Saisons falls somewhere between a gîte and a small hotel — unlike most gîtes, breakfast is not served, but these six rooms have far more downhome charm than your average hotel. What you have here is a Victorian-style country inn whose guest rooms are all newly renovated, uniquely decorated in period style, and come with private bath, double bed (plus an additional queen-size bed in two of the six), and WiFi internet — not to mention great views of Percé Rock from its prime location just outside the town centre. From $75/nt. 
  • 12 Aux Jardins de l'Anse, 931, 2e Rang, ☏ 1 418-782-2294. Odprto vse leto. Aux Jardins de l'Anse is situated in a rather strange location — an out-of-the-way, almost isolated part of inland L'Anse-à-Beaufils — but it's perfect for those visiting Percé during the winter, a time when, unlike most area hoteliers, owners Odette and Jean-Guy are as busy as any other season. In fact, taking good care of offseason visitors at a time when most services are closed seems to be a major point of pride here, with a long slate of winter activities on offer including dogsledding excursions (q.v.), sleigh rides, and snowmobiling. But Aux Jardins de l'Anse is perfect for the other three seasons too, with lobster fishing excursions in the spring, brilliant colours covering the mountains in the fall, and the gardens that give the place its name providing a summertime floral feast for the eyes and nose. The main house boasts four rooms, all with lovely views either over the gardens or out to the sea in the distance; the "Petite Suite" boasts a queen size bed, private bath and lounge and Internet access while the other three have double beds, shared baths and peaceful sitting areas. There's also a detached chalet with a private terrace, a full-size private bath, and additional amenities such as a refrigerator and barbecue grill. Breakfast comes either as a gourmet five-course meal in the midmorning or as an abbreviated continental breakfast beginning at 6AM: perfect for early-rising hikers hitting the River Trail a short walk away. Spletno mesto samo v francoščini. $65-$95/nt. 
  • 13 [mrtva povezava]La Maison Réhel, 42, rue de l'Église, ☏ 1 418-782-2910. Prijava: 16.00, preveri: 11.00. Open Jun-Sep. Located in a calm setting off the main drag yet boasting easy access to all of Percé's attractions, La Maison Réhel is a spacious old Victorian house dating to 1910 (built by local country lawyer Alphonse Garneau) whose relaxing porch gives you a front-row view of towering Mont Sainte-Anne and the majestic St. Michael's Catholic Church. Inside there are five rooms, all of which are decorated handsomely in period style with hardwood floors and antique furniture, and all but one of which boast ample queen-size beds ("L'Aubergine" makes up for only having a double bed with the inclusion of a small dresser and sink). Bathrooms are shared. Elsie and Augustine serve a full breakfast every morning from 7:30AM-9AM featuring locally sourced ingredients, and are on hand constantly to share information on what there is to do around town. High season rates: $80-$85/nt for up to 2 people; $25/nt each additional person.

The imposing St. Michael's Catholic Church which towers next door informs the entire identity of this gîte: the house was constructed a century ago as the home of its priest, and the two common living rooms are decorated with artifacts from the church's history and furnished liberally with period antiques. Le Presbytère is conveniently located to all attractions, yet it's a breath of fresh air for those looking to get away from the hubbub: the pleasant front veranda affords a view of Percé Rock sans crowds of gawking tourists, and there are also a few computers there for those who want to stay connected. The five guest rooms here include "La Familiale", a suite with a panoramic ocean view that sleeps 3 to 5 (perfect for families, hence the name), and "La Chambre du Curé", decorated in warm pink tones and boasting a luxurious queen size bed. Most of the rooms feature shared baths. Michel, the owner, speaks French, English and Spanish and is well-known for going above and beyond in assuring the comfort of his guests — and he cooks up a hearty yet elegant breakfast in the morning, with eggs prepared a different way each day and meats sometimes including wild game sourced from area forests. $82-$139/nt for up to two people, $15-$20/nt each additional person. 
  • 15 Hôtel-Motel du Rocher Percé, 111, route 132, ☏ 1 418-782-2230, brez cestnin: 1-888-467-3723. Prijava: 15.00, preveri: 11:30. Open May-Oct. The Hôtel-Motel du Rocher Percé is another one of those places that falls in the gray area between a gîte and a small hotel. It has 16 rooms, far larger than most gîtes, but the decor boasts far more character than your average hotel, and a hearty country breakfast is served daily. All of the guest rooms here contain a comfy double bed, a chest of drawers, wireless Internet access, and private baths (full bathrooms in most cases; the four second-floor rooms boast private half-baths and one shared full bath for showering). Most rooms also have ocean views and TVs with a remote control.

There are sites for trailers as well, and laundry facilities are available. Cash only. $28-$42/nt. 
  • 19 Camping Tête d'Indien, 1669, route 132, ☏ 1 418-645-2333. Prijava: 14.00, preveri: 13.00. Open Jun-Sep.

  • If you're heading up Route 132 from the direction of Chaleur Bay, the next town you'll come to is Gaspé. Where Percé is the tourist capital of the Gaspé Peninsula, Gaspé is its commercial capital, and at first blush the town seems to be all business. Look a little closer, though, and you'll find some nice off-the-beaten-path tourist destinations like the Gaspé Regional Museum(Musée de la Gaspésie), a perfect place to go when your outdoor plans are rained out: you can learn everything you want to know about the region's history, culture, and people. There's also a wonderful sandy beach at Haldimand, and Canada's tallest lighthouse at Cap-des-Rosiers. However, Gaspé is probably best known to tourists as the gateway to...
  • Narodni park Forillon(Parc national du Canada Forillon), a wild and wonderful expanse of tree-clad mountains and rocky shore centred on Cap-Gaspé, the furthest-east tip of the Appalachian Mountains on the American continent. Hike through dense boreal forests, past placid pebble beaches lined with historic fishing shacks, and admire wide ocean vistas on your way to the svetilnik at land's end. Sea kayaking, whale-watching, snorkelling, and cross-country skiing are just a few of the activities awaiting you at Forillon.
  • If you're heading south and west from Gaspé, Chandler is the next town you'll pass through. This large industrial town was founded on the pulp and paper milling industry and is the birthplace of Mary Travers, better known as "La Bolduc", a pioneering chansonnière (singer of traditional Québécois folk songs). It's also the Gaspé Peninsula's port of call for the M/V CTMA Vacancier, a cruise ship that plies the St. Lawrence river and estuary from Montreal; as such, it's a major gateway to the far-flung Îles de la Madeleine, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
  • Further down Route 132 past Chandler is Bonaventure, where the longstanding Acadian presence in the Chaleur Bay region is represented by the Quebec Acadian Museum(Musée acadien du Québec), a sprawling complex that tells the story of the Acadians through artifacts and exhibits in the main museum as well as historically accurate artisans' shops and other buildings elsewhere. Bonaventure is also home of the Gaspé Biopark(Bioparc de la Gaspésie), a small zoo that features a few dozen animals indigenous to the region.
