In my drives through the various French-speaking areas of New Brunswick I have noticed that they seem to have a bit more élan than the English-speaking areas when it comes to home decorations, not afraid to make their own statement about whatever it is they like. The Gaspe was no different and we saw some amazing sculptures in some of the small coastal villages we drove through. However, the one that made us really sit up and take notice was this ‘turret’ house in the high hills just before we descended into Grand-Vallee. I don’t know what they were trying to say, but the turrets were even along the side of the driveway!

Q: Arriving in Gaspe on October 6th and would like to hire a taxi to take us sightseeing. Does anyone know if this is possible?...

A: It is possible but most likely expensive and not very necessary. Downtown Gaspe is pretty small and easily visited on foot. Any particular sites you wished to see?
