I toured the park on two days. On day one I enjoyed the spectacular views you get on Cap des Rosiers (don't miss the lighthouse), Cap Bon-Ami and foremost from the top of Mont St. Alban from the observation tower. This is breathtaking! If you start the 7.8km loop from Cap Bon-Ami be advised, that the start is very steep.... More

I have to say , even after nice hotels in Montreal and Quebec City this was my favorite part of my last trip. We had a very large campsite which accommodated 2 tents... More

We have visited the Forillon national park and stayed there for 3 days. Fishing the mackerel is amazing! You can catch up to a max of 10 fishes per day, the fish itself is very good, you come back in the evening with fish for the supper! We climbed the mountain to the Mont Saint-Alban, that was one of the... More

This was most definitively one of the highlights of our trip in Gaspésie. Before entering the park, there is an area with 2 WWII guns that can be visited for free. We stayed overnight to camp at the Des-Rosiers camping ground which is located within the park. The camping grounds are well maintained, and there is a nice building right... More
