Visitor Information and Discovery Centre

This exhibition in this building illustrates the natural and cultural mosaic patiently shaped by nature and time on Forillon land. You will discover all the biodiversity of this expanse of sea and mountains, as well as the treasures hidden in its rocks and human memory.

Appalachian memories

The exhibition tells the geological history of Forillon through nine easily accessible sites of interest. Will you be able to "Read the lines in the rock"?

Land of remarkable nature

From the low taiga of Penouille to the summit of Mount Saint-Alban, the Forillon trails reveal a surprisingly contrasting fauna and flora. Have fun matching species to clues, which will reveal some of the amazing features of the park's flora and fauna.

Sea of unsuspected wonders

The cold, oxygenated waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Bay of Gaspé support an impressive array of marine life. Dive, with the help of virtual reality helmets, into the waters surrounding Forillon National Park, and have fun finding certain marine species.

Exceptional meeting point

Life meets here, in Forillon. The bird finds its nest there. The plant, its soil. The fish, its current. The human, their space. Have fun understanding the richness of Forillon's; and by activating the animations on the interactive wall.

The park's ecosystems

This part of the exhibition is made up of rotating triangles in which you will discover highlights, artifacts and educational content about Forillon National Park’s different ecosystems. Can you rebuild and identify the main image, which illustrates the ecosystem?

Differing perspectives

Forillon leaves a strong imprint for those who have contemplated, studied and lived there. Here are the views of the Mi'gmaq community of Gespeg, some expropriated people, artists, scientists and visitors, as time goes by, and their inspirations.
