Miguasha, Quebec, is a full day's drive from Montréal, but zut alors, it is worth the trip. Located on the Baie des Chaleurs along the Gaspé south shore, it is the place that time forgot. More than 375 millions years ago, the region was once a tropical estuary with craggy Appalachian peaks filling the horizon and primitive trees, scorpions and spiders covering the land. Today, it is the world's most famous site for Devonian fossils, whose thick concentration on the banks and cliffs earned it the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. More than a place for rockhounds, however, Miguasha boasts a beautiful trail along an eight-kilometre coast and is a landscape ripe for adventure — past and present. Check the links below for more information on Miguasha and other exciting Quebec destinations.
