If you decide to travel to Canada soon, and more particularly on the east coast in the Quebec region, there is a good chance that you will pass through Gaspésie. It is an essential stopover in the heart of authentic Canada, offering landscapes that are as different as they are magnificent all along the coast.
But this region is so big that you may not know where to start, what to do or what to see. So in this article I propose to give you some advice, in particular and above all on where to sleep in the Bay of Heat!
The bay of heat
The Bay of Heat is an arm of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. It notably separates Gaspésie from New Brunswick. You’ve probably already heard of the St. Lawrence, if only for the whales and other cetaceans that can be observed in the area. Whether in Saguenay towards Tadoussac, or towards Gaspé and Parc Fornillon.
And if you like a bit of history, it is in this bay that the explorer Jacques Cartier first set foot in 1534.
What to see and what to do?
Gaspésie is full of wonderful places and surprising activities. From whale watching, to forest hikes, fishing, kayaking, and so on.
And these are the main activities that I suggest you discover. But there are others, including the observation of animals in a natural environment, the discovery of honey wine, maple groves, fish smokehouses (salmon), etc.
Where to stay and where to sleep?
Let’s come to the most important thing, and above all the motivation of my article. Because if you land here, it’s precisely because you’re looking for a place to sleep in the Bay of Heat.
Whether you take a tour of the Gaspésie from the west to the east via the north, or the opposite, you will inevitably pass through the Bay of Heat.
In New Richmond!
So head to New Richmond! From here, you will be less than an hour from Carleton sur Mer and its Mont Saint Joseph, but also not far from smokehouses, magical rivers (cascapedia) and many others.
And it is towards the two AirBNB accommodations of Katou and Christian that I suggest you turn. They offer a luxury trailer that you can see an overview on Trip and fun, but also and above all chalets in the heart of the forest that you can also discover on trip and fun !
These two accommodations, in addition to being offered by exceptional hosts, will offer you on the one hand comfort at a reduced price, and on the other (for the chalet) an extraordinary experience!
Below are the two links to Katou and Christian’s ads for their chalets and the luxury caravan! And when you go there, don’t forget hello from me from their past!!
