Perce is a very popular cultural center. Many artists were attracted to this charming village. The magnificence of the Rocher Perce (the rock) and Bonaventure Island with its thousands of Northern Gannets have made this a tourist area, we saw many tour buses stopping here.
Another one of our boon docking spots near Maria. Sorry big rig friends but t his is only for the small guys.
Before crossing over into New Brunswick, we decided to check out a museum that was only 4 km past the turn. You just never know. It turned out to be very interesting. The staff walked us through some of the history which adds so much more. There was a film and some self guided. There are numerous remnants from underwater archaeological excavations made on the wreck of the French pirate frigate The Machault. It was well preserved by the mud in the bay. It is just amazing to see something that is over 200 years old. The center commemorates the last naval battle between France and England for the possession of the New France in 1760.
