Site d'Interprétation Micmac de Gespeg

What a wonderful interpretive center of the Mi'kmaq people. Kelly and I took a guided (English language) tour with Bianca. She provided a wealth of knowledge about her people and traditions/culture. I would definitely recommend making a reservation for a guided tour. (They give tours in English and French.) Kuddos to Bianca for the warm welcome and enthusiasm speaking about her people. (The bannock bread was not available during our visit. 🙂)

Absolutely great experience. The staff are knowledgeable and engaging storytellers. They have great artifacts to share and explain. Very helpful.

What an experience this was! Our guide was amazing, a very good storyteller. The site is small but the stories were so dense and captivating that we didn't need more. A must see!

A must if you are visiting Gaspe! We dropped in on spec and we were made welcome instantly. We had missed the tour but the displays were very informative and enlightening. Timothy went out of his way to answer any and all questions we had Well worth the visit

It was a nice “museum” but weak in knowledge transfer. The interpretation part, inside the building, is the same size of the souvenir store… which for us was quite disappointing. We liked the outside village, it has potential, but no interpretation panels whatsoever, so that you are forced to have a guided tour. For parents with small children (small attention span) this is very unpractical, since we need to discover the exhibits at our own pace. I understand that they didn’t want to take away the true feeling of an indigenous village by putting panels, but then for families like ours we missed a lot of info.

I love to learn different cultures and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The people were very friendly. One suggestion, please confirm your visit time prior to arrival. We arrived there at 1 and it was booked for French tour.

Had a tour in English (can’t remember the guides name but we loved her)! Everyone working is part Micmac and they’re very involved in the creation and upkeep of the exhibits. An elder works in the museum to create items in the boutique. Pre-book your trip and reserve the bannock ahead of time.

Very disappointed. We stopped in for a visit and some kids activities (dream catchers and bracelets) but when we arrived, they told us that we had to reserve 48 hrs in advanced. I explained to them that their website stated that reservations only needed to be done when its a group of 6 of more. They didnt seem to care...😔. We still decided to do the tour. We did an English guided tour (because that was the next tour available). The guide was friendly but didn't animate like the French guides did in their tours... Overall experience was ok.
