Here we are at Perce with Perce Rock in the background. Our stay is at Cote Surprise, a commercial CG that has a beautiful view overlooking the water. We have just arrived so more will come about this area in another post.
We haven't had internet for 5 days so have a bit of catching up to do. Working backwards, we had a wonderful 4 day stay at Forillon National Park at the tip of the Gaspe in Lands End. This is a really well maintained park. We stayed on the North Side at Des-Rosiers CG right near the beach. The CG was immaculate. Our loop was in a loosely wooden area of aspens and evergreens.The weather can be damp and cold so the shower/restroom areas have an extra room with picnic tables and a wood stove for campers to hang out. There are other similar buildings throughout the park so it can be enjoyed in all kinds of weather and temperature. So what's great about Forillon? Dramatic rock cliffs, wildlife, pelagic as well as woodland birds, forests, meadows, wildflowers, fishing history . . . . lots to do and see. Biking, lighthouses, whales, birds of course, waterfalls, bear cub and lots of porcupines.
The highlights of the trip along the north coast to Forillon included the Jardins de Metis/Reford Gardens, wonderful smoked fish at Atkins et Feres, mead wine at Vieux Moulin, lighthouses, small villages and a submarine.
Although it is getting late, there are many kids playing on the porch where I sit and the internet is slow so it is time for bed!
