The Gaspésie Museum
The Musée de la Gaspésie introduces you to Gaspé's history, culture and must-see exhibits.
Located on the seafront in the heart of Gaspé, the Musée de la Gaspésie is the place to go if you want to immerse yourself in the region's history and culture. Through its permanent and temporary exhibits, discover the encounter between Jacques Cartier and the Mi'gmaq, the era of the great schooners, cod fishing and the richness of Gaspesian art. More than a museum, it's a living place where memory, art and identity meet. With family, friends or on your own, let yourself be inspired by this unique journey through time. And before you leave, don't miss Gaspésienne no. 20, a true emblem of the region.

Gaspé sustainable destination
Sustainable development at the heart of our destination
Escale Gaspé is committed to making sustainable development a central, cross-cutting element of its strategic planning. It is aligned with Croisières du Saint-Laurent's Sustainable Development Strategy and shares its vision for the St. Lawrence destination.
The cruise industry contributes to the socio-economic vitality of Quebec and its regions, while helping to preserve and regenerate ecosystems. The St. Lawrence destination offers a human and sustainable experience with a positive impact, through the bridges we build between visitors and host communities, maritime, tourism and scientific players.
Escale Gaspé has taken action in recent years in terms of sustainable tourism development. It has equipped its cruise lodge with waste-sorting islands and a boutique showcasing local products. It also broadcasts sustainable and responsible tourism awareness content for cruise passengers, via a screen located in its pavilion.
The organization also rolled out its first-ever stakeholder consultation forum in spring 2025, participates regularly in the sustainable tourism best-practice sharing community Les Courants Durables du Saint-Laurent, and takes part in a social acceptability campaign run by Croisières du Saint-Laurent.
Destination Gaspé's brand-new, optimized website also stimulates the local economy and enhances the tourism offering by improving the visibility and appeal of local businesses. It offers a modern, engaging showcase on a centralized platform, while integrating rich content linked to local stories and the region's unique cultural events.
