Anybody ridden the Gaspe Peninsula
Hello fellow Nomad owners!
It's been a long time since I have been on the forum. I don't even know if there was a Eastern Canada message board when I was on before, anyway it is good to be able to share a common interest with you all. Has anyone ridden the Gaspe peninsula? Any positive or negative feedback would be much appreciated.Being pretty much 100% english speaking, I wonder about the language barrier. I can just imagine the scenery would be spectacular. Any info. at all would be great. Safe riding, oh ya and hope to see you's at the rally in Lake George. ![]() John Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I have not done the Gaspé on a bike, but years ago I did by car. There is a lot to see and yes lots of beautiful scenery. I would not worry about a language barrier. Don't forget you would be traveling in a popular tourist area. Lots of people in Québec speak English, or are fluent enough to understand you.

Thanks for the info cnc, I have been to Montreal and around the area a few times. I have never been in Northern Quebec.
The reason I asked about the language thing, is that I heard from a couple different people that when they were travelling Northern Quebec, they ran into a couple difficult situations. |

I have done the Gaspe Peninsula each of the last 2 years on motorcycle. It is an amazing ride. It is a great combination of relaxed riding by the sea, as well as some real nice twisties and switchbacks around Perce and Grand Vallee. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone. English is not a problem in this part of Quebec. Once you reach the Peninsula, it seems as if one town meshes with the next into one long Main Street.
