Driftwood Sculptures in Cap-Chat, Québec
A visual treat in an unexpected place

During a trip to the Gaspé Peninsula, which is the province of Québec’s best-kept secret, we checking into our AirBnB in Cap-Chat and went into town to poke around.

We came across an exhibition of driftwood sculptures. It was an unexpected treat and a wonderful way to spend some time.

But the sculptures were not the only things worth photographing.

If you ever get the chance, take a trip around the Gaspé Peninsular. It’s nothing short of spectacular and well worth the small effort it takes to get there.
