Immerse yourself in deep-sea fishing with the thrilling “Cap au Large” experience in Rivière-au-Renard, in Gaspésie!

Plunge into the heart of an adventure where tradition meets expertise. This immersive film will transport you into the world of today’s fishers, revealing the harsh realities of the fishing trade as well as the wealth of knowledge passed down from one generation to the next and the raw power of the sea. Thanks to striking multimedia effects, including moving seats, wind and drizzle, you will feel every wave and every vibration as if you were actually on a boat.

After your deep-sea immersion, immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Rivière-au-Renard, a village marked by over 200 years of maritime traditions. Discover the community’s strategic role in the fishing industry, the peculiarities of its topography and its landmark events, such as the fishermen’s revolt in 1909, which played a decisive role in the history of the Gaspé Peninsula.
