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.

Ura: A Celebration of Water

Ura will immerse you in an adventure where the power of water takes on new meaning.

In Chandler, on the shores of Bourg de Pabos, Lamia invites you on the water path. This mysterious woman will hand you the keys to the eight stations that dot this path.

At each station, you will enjoy amazing experiences. You will never see water the same way again!

Ura is a 1-km (0.6 mi.) path through the forest and by the sea, which can be experienced day or night. Visitors explore the trail at their own pace. The experience lasts about 60 minutes.
