Gaspé
Commemorating the French explorer's landing is the Jacques Cartier Monument, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi.) north on Hwy. 132, across from The Museum of Gaspésie. Six slabs shaped like dolmens recall Cartier's Breton heritage and depict the events of his landing; phone (418) 368-1534.
Gaspé lies along the scenic portion of Hwy. 132, which follows the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula from Ste-Anne-des-Monts on the northern coast to Grand-Rivière on the southern coast.
