Carleton-Sur-Mer
The arts have a secure role in Carleton-sur-Mer. Galleries display the work of area artists. A work of art itself, the St-Joseph-de-Carleton Church, on boulevard Perron, contains paintings, silverware and vestments acquired in 1800. Productions by the Moluque Theatre are offered Tuesday through Saturday evenings from mid-July to late August.
Preserved fossils are found at Miguasha National Park, southwest via Hwy. 132. The park contains the Escuminac Geological Formation, which represents a paleo-ecosystem of the Devonian period, 370 million years ago. These fossils illustrate the transition from aquatic vertebrates to land vertebrates, making the park an important paleontological site.
