We continued on route 132 around the Gaspe peninsula today, a route that took us in and out of Parc national Forillon (Forillon National Park). A stop at one of the visitor centers convinced us that we had missed one of the most scenic stops in the park, Cap-Bon-Ami. We backtracked about 15 miles, paid the $16 entrance fee, and then couldn't find a parking space for the RV. Undaunted, we found a shrubby pull-off to back into.
A short hike later, we were rewarded for our efforts: Cap-Bon-Ami provides dramatic views of the very tip of the Gaspe peninsula.
We learned about a piece of WWII history that we don't usually hear about (click on the picture to enlarge and read):
We continued along the northern coast of the Gaspe through a number of fishing villages....
...and found a campground right on the St. Lawrence River.
