	Discovering the Park

Percé Rock, a Sea Mastodon

Observe this cathedral from a distance. It is a nesting place for cormorants and seagulls. Percé Rock is a 471-metre-long mastodon with 85-metre-high rock faces and a 10-metre wide hole.

Warning: Walking along the cliffs of Rocher Percé is extremely dangerous. Several tons of rocks fall from Rocher Percé each year. Anyone who walks by Rocher Percé does so at their own risk.

A Landscape Sculpted by the Sea

Discover the geological history of the prolongation of the Appalachians into the waters of the gulf, a natural amphitheater featuring five geological formations within a 2-kilometre stretch of coastline.

An Incredible Colony

Bonaventure Island is home to a spectacular congregation of 300,000 sea birds, including razorbills, gulls, murres, and puffins. The bird sanctuary boasts the largest concentration of Northern Gannets in North America. The island also has 223 species of avian wildlife.

A Fish Story

Visit Le Boutillier House, the residence of the manager for Le Boutillier Brothers company, the Anglo-French cod fishing company established on the island in the 19th century. Stroll along Chemin du Roy to see other old homes, vestiges of the 19th century fishing and farming community, and an island way of life long vanished.
