Summary
| Description |
English: Grande-Vallée is a village situated halfway between Sainte-Anne-des-Monts and Gaspé, on the northern shore of the Gaspésie peninsula. It is one of the four villages forming the sector commonly known as « l'Estran ».
It owes its name to the passing of an immense glacier many thousands of years ago. This glacier's passage left an indelible mark, in the form of a valley, amongst the robust Appalachian Mountains. Here, the mountains literally embrace the sea while the river marries its waters with her own.
Français : Grande-Vallée est un village situé à mi-chemin entre Sainte-Anne-des-Monts et Gaspé, sur la côte nord de la péninsule de la Gaspésie.Il fait partie d'un petit groupe de quatre villages constituant un secteur surnommé l'Estran.
Il doit son nom à la vallée creusée il y a des milliers d'années par le passage d'un immense glacier en travers de la chaîne de montagnes des Appalaches. En ces lieux les montagnes embrassent la mer alors que la rivière y marie ses eaux. |
