The Cradle of Canada

In downtown Gaspé, the Cradle of Canada is a historic and cultural site that tells the story of the country's origins. It was here that Jacques Cartier dropped anchor in 1534, marking an important page in Canadian history. Today, the site comes alive with exhibitions, guided tours, shows and activities that bring memory and living culture together. Soirées Desjardins, 5 à 7 at Taverne Baker and printing workshops add to the experience, making it a festive, accessible and unifying place. With its exceptional view of Gaspé Bay, the Berceau du Canada is a must-see for combining historical discovery and cultural pleasure.
