Activities offered
Garden-museum for a great Gaspesian
Made up of a thematic interpretation park and a reception pavilion, Espace René-Lévesque promotes a approach focused on the man, its life, its reflections and its actions. More than thirty varieties of shrubs and perennials make up this garden including the blue iris, Quebec's floral emblem. Grasses float in the wind of Gaspésie. The cascades of red, white and blue flowers, and some messy tillers evoke the fascinating course of René Lévesque, since his childhood on the edge of the Chaleurs Bay. Enjoy this garden overlooking the Chaleurs Bay with René Lévesque at the different stages of his life evoked with commented photographs, and his voice on occasion. This fascinating audioguided walk makes one realize the magnitude of the legacy that this man has left to his fellow citizens.
