About Gaspesian Coast
The coast runs from Sainte-Flavie to Méchins along the St. Lawrence estuary, describing an immense curve. Matane, whose average altitude is 160 m, is the largest city in this region. Three rivers flow into the St. Lawrence and cross the landscape perpendicularly: the Mitis, Matane and Cap-Chat rivers. These rivers are famous for salmon fishing. The landscape is mainly composed of hills shaped by agriculture and more or less wooded areas. Towards Les Méchins, the relief becomes more abrupt. The local population lives from agriculture in summer and logging in winter. The town of Matane (town) accounts for most of the population of this region.
