Percé (2006 Population 3,419) is a small touristic village on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec. It is 432.39 square km in area. It has a long history of being an important fishing centre for the Mi'kmaq people. In the 17th century, the area became the most important fishing location on the Gaspé Peninsula for the European settlers when Charles Robin, from Jersey, built the infrastructure for a fishing industry. Some of the old buildings related to fishing can still be seen; however, today the area is mainly a tourist location particularly well-known for the attractions of Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island.
