Le Chafaud Museum & Robin Heritage Site
Musée Le Chafaud
A museum in a converted 19th-century cod-processing building, telling the story of the Robin family of Jersey merchants and Percé's fishing history.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, trading firms including the Robin company from Jersey in the Channel Islands ran cod salting and export operations in Percé. They left behind a group of wooden buildings that are now the town's heritage district. One of them, a 'chafaud' (fish-processing shed), has been converted into the Musée Le Chafaud and Discovery Centre, with a permanent exhibition on the fishing industry and contemporary art shows in summer. The restored Robin Store is next door. Located on the seafront in the town centre and within walking distance, admission is about CAD 10. It is generally open from June to September, though you should check official announcements.
