Site historique de Pointe-à-la-Renommée

L'Anse-à-Valleau ( Gaspésie )

Located in an amazing vista, this historic site was home to North America’s first maritime radio station, installed by Marconi in 1904, which was declared a national historic event in 2011. Visit the exhibits Marconi and the Story of Radio Communications and Pointe-à-la-Renommée: The Space of a Lifetime to learn more about the lives of the radio operators, lighthouse keepers and their families.

Visit the most travelled lighthouse in the world! After 20 years of exile in the Port of Québec, it was returned to its original site in 1997.
