Historical site composed of buildings of the two most important Jersey companies exporting salted and dried cod.

The eleven buildings on the site belonged to the world's two largest Jersey exporters of salted/dried cod: Robin and LeBoutillier Brothers. They made Paspébiac the cod capital of the world, having established one of the first sedentary fishing posts on the Gaspé Peninsula. Costumed guides recreate the atmosphere of the 18th and 19th centuries, with demonstrations of traditional trades such as barge building and period nail making. You can also visit the various buildings of these two companies: carpentry, cook-room, cooperage, forge and others in the Robin sector; office, shed and warehouse (recognized as the largest wood-frame building in North America) in the LeBoutillier Brothers sector. Several guided tours are offered daily. Take advantage of your visit to the historic site to enjoy a meal at the L'Ancre restaurant. It offers seafood specialties such as fricassee à la Paspéya, fish and seafood soup, cod fillet, seafood shells and fish cakes. Please note that the restaurant doesn't serve alcohol, but you're welcome to bring your own wine (or beer). Before you leave, be sure to visit the souvenir store, which sells arts and crafts and regional products. A must-see in the region!
