The town of Perce and Perce Rock on the Gaspesie Peninsula, Quebec, Canada are linked not just by name but also by low tide, when it is possible to walk from the mainland to this 375 million year old rock.
In the 17th century the little town of Perce in the Gulf of St Lawrence was a busy fishing harbour and in the late 18th century Charles Robin, from Jersey, one of the Channel Islands, built a thriving fishing business. Some of his buildings can still be seen in the area. Perce and the Gaspesie Peninsula is now a tourist paradise with many places and things to see, especially...
... Bonaventure Island and Perce Rock National Park which is about 5 kilometres from Perce, and has one of the largest northern gannet colonies in the world.
Another one of the sights worth seeing, which have probably remained constant from the very early years, are the sunsets which bathe the Gaspesie Peninsula in many colours, sometimes soft and other times vibrant, but always breathtaking.

The soft colours of the Gaspesie Sunset reflect in the waters of the Gulf of St Lawrence which gently lap at Perce Rock in the town of Perce, Quebec, Canada.
