À la fin du mois de juillet, je suis allé passer 5 jours en Gaspésie avec une journaliste de Devoir pour une série d’histoire qui seront publiés sous peu. La direction m’a aussi demandé d’en profiter pour faire un reportage photo de la péninsule gaspésienne. Voici le résultat.

Mount Desert Island, the largest island off the coast of Maine, is best known for the Acadia National Park.
Created as Lafayette National Park in 1919 and renamed Acadia in 1929, the park includes mountains, an ocean shoreline, woodlands, lakes, and even a sandy beach. It is a very popular destination for outdoors activities and camping with two and a half million tourists a year.
On the Western side of the island, off the park, the town of Tremont includes the villages of Bass Harbor (or McKinley), Bernard, Gotts Island, Seal Cove and West Tremont, where fishing, especially lobster fishing, is an important part of the daily life.
