Gaspé, a city in the heart of discovery
Gaspé est une ville historique qui mérite d'être connue et visitée. C'est le 24 juillet de l'an 1534 que Jacques Cartier planta, sur les rives de la baie de Gaspé, une croix au nom du roi de France, François 1er. Cet acte de prise de possession du territoire a d'ailleurs valu à notre ville le titre de « Berceau du Canada ».
