Interpretation Centre
The interpretation centre explains the role of Pabos in the Gaspésie region under the French regime (1730-1758). Artefacts unearthed during archaeological digs, a replica of a fishing cabin and large panels provide insight into life on a Gaspesian seigneury in the 18th century. The innovative architecture of this interpretation centre charmingly blends history, archaeology and nature.
A restaurant is available on site.
Hiking, cycling, swimming, lookouts and interpretive activities are also offered on site.

Nova Lumina: A Night Walk by the Sea
Here in Chandler, the stars gather above the old train bridge, at the mouth of the Grand Pabos rivers. where land meets water and sky. Each night they reveal a luminous spectacle that glitters with wondrous depth and beauty. Travellers come from around the world to gaze up at their clusters and constellations…
Recently, however, for reasons unknown, the stars have begun to fall.
They rain over the area and wash ashore, weakened and barely aglow. Each awaits the arrival of a pilgrim to carry it on a journey back to the night sky.
Nova Lumina is a 1.5-km (1-mi.) night walk by the sea. Visitors explore the trail at their own pace. The experience lasts about 60 minutes.
