Gaspé and the Musée de la Gaspésie

A founding town where Jacques Cartier took possession of the territory in the name of the King of France in 1534, Gaspé pairs this founding heritage with its regional museum, which traces five centuries of history of the First Nations, fishers, and settlers who shaped the peninsula's identity.
