La Route des Belvédères: Exceptional Architecture. Breathtaking Views.

Start your adventure around La Gaspésie with a bang along the breathtaking Route des Belvédères, or the Route of Scenic Lookouts. From the town of Matapédia, make the short hike up to the cliffside Belvédère des Deux Rivières (Two Rivers Scenic Lookout). The belvédère’s unique architecture will reveal a stunning view of the confluence of the Restigouche and Matapédia Rivers, where you can see both Québec and New Brunswick showing off their iconic fall colors.

Then, make the short 10-minute drive up into the mountains to the Belvédère Coeur des Plateaux (Heart of the Plateaus Scenic Lookout). Soak in incredible 360-degree views of an endless blanket of golden yellows and oranges as the fall foliage approaches its peak. The southwestern Gaspésie is stunningly beautiful any time of year. The fall colors simply take your breath away.
