The Gaspé Peninsula Seen from Above
Original Title
La Gaspésie vue du ciel
It's only when doing the traditional «tour of the Gaspé» that travellers discover this country within a country. But how many of them have flown over it and discovered its secret landscapes? In addition to celebrating the originality of this out-of-the-way region as it is today—between land and sea, a landscape of hills and dales—the book includes photographic reminders of what it was like a century ago, thanks to a series of plates taken in the 1920s by Jacques Lesseps.
The colours and special qualities of the Gaspé's villages, rivers and mountains make them a key chapter in the geographic epic that is Quebec. You have to fly over it to grasp its richness and beauty.
