Museum experiences

  • Learn about the international cod trade by visiting our eleven historic buildings. It is also an opportunity to meet authentic “Paspéyas,” to taste traditional dishes, while enjoying the sun and the salty air. The Paspébiac National Historic Site is where the Robin and LeBoutillier Brothers companies were founded.
  • In the 19th century, it was even one of the largest dried cod export ports of the Atlantic! The LeBoutillier Warehouse is sure to impress. Made of wood, it is one of the largest fishing buildings ever built in America. With its five floors, it stands out within a unique heritage complex, designated by the governments of Quebec and Canada.
  • Since 1766, Paspébiac has been at the heart of the industrial history of fishing, a tradition still alive with its fishermen, its factory and its wharf. Boutique, restaurant, promenade, beach, picnic tables and games for children complete an already memorable visit.
