Route 132 Gaspé Coast
132Sainte-Anne-des-Monts to Percé
Sainte-Anne-des-Monts to Perce along the cliff-lined Gaspe coast of the St. Lawrence.
This eastern arc of Quebec’s Route 132 leaves Sainte-Anne-des-Monts and hugs the St. Lawrence shore beneath the Chic-Choc mountains, rounding the Gaspe Peninsula past Forillon to the great limestone monolith of Perce Rock. The road threads cliff edges, river mouths and fishing villages, with the sea on one side and the highlands on the other. It is touring-paced rather than technical, but the setting is among the most celebrated in eastern Canada. Mind cliff-edge sections with little barrier, slow village speed zones, and sea fog rolling in fast.
