Summary[edit]

Description
English: Percé (2006 Population 3,419) is a small village near the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Québec. It has a long history of being an important seasonal fishing centre under the French. Today the area is mainly a tourist location particularly well-known for the attractions of Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island. Percé Rock is a natural rock formation located close to the shore facing the town. It is a natural tourist attraction for its size, color, and unusual door-like hole at one end the rock.
Français : Percé est une municipalité ( population de 3,419 personnes en 2006) située à l'extrémité est de la péninsule gaspésienne au Québec. Elle fut longtemps un important centre de pêche saisonnière sous le régime français. De nos jours la région a une vocation surtout touristique, étant renommée particulièrement pour son Rocher Percé et l'île Bonaventure. Le Rocher Percé, formation rocheuse calcaire située à proximité du rivage de Percé, est une attraction touristique naturelle intéressante par sa dimension, sa couleur, et la présence d'une ouverture en forme de baie de porte en arcade à une des extrémités du rocher.
