THE ‘MAISON LEGRAND’ AND MUSÉUM

This century-old heritage building is one of the area’s most remarkable gems with its second-empire architecture. It currently houses our municipal offices as well as the ‘Bonheur d’Occasion’ Library and a small museum that recalls both the building and the Legrand family history. Outside, there is a theme park relating local historical events.

Information: 418-396-5225 / 494, route 132, Port-Daniel
   
THE TRAIN STATION

Built in 1908 by the Atlantic Quebec and Western Railway (AQ & W), the Port-Daniel train station is impressively large, boasting a sophisticated architecture. When compared to other stations on the Gaspé Coast, this century-old building is rather well located in the very heart of the municipality and close to Route 132, which circles the Gaspé Peninsula.
   
THE RAILWAY TUNNEL

The Railway tunnel measures 193 metres long by 73 metres high and is the only one of its kind still operating in Québec. It took two years to drill the tunnel (1905 -1907) and these works were sadly darkened by a premature dynamite explosion, which took the lives of eight people. At the top of the tunnel, belvederes offer breathtaking ocean views around the different areas of Port-Daniel.
   
ST-PHILIP’S ANGLICAN CHURCH AND MICRO-MUSEUM

St-Philip’s Anglican Church has preserved its early-century style much as when it was built in 1912. For the past few years, its micro-museum has been recounting the community history, particularly in relation to the Colborne shipwreck. One of the wreck’s survivors, Joseph Jones Acteson, and his descendants now lay in the adjacent cemetery. St Philip’s Anglican Church opens in the summer only, Monday to Friday, from 9 to 4.
   
THE WILDLIFE RESERVE

This reserve offers cosy lakeside cottages for fishing and nature enthusiasts. Our number- one lakeshore choice is the Lac-de-l’Île cottage. Whether for fishing or just to take a slow row on the lake, cottage renters will enjoy their own private-lake access.

Information : 418-396-2232 or 418-396-2789
   
COLBORNE PARK

This outdoor recreational site offers 3 rustic seaside cottages, hiking and biking trails, a belvedere and a replica of the Colborne shipwreck, which ran aground at Pointe-aux-Maquereaux in the night of October 15th 1838, taking the lives of 30 passengers and 11 crew members. The site also offers kayaking and diving. Cottage Rentals: $ 50 / day -
