Hotel Motel Fleur De Lys is a hotel and motel in Percé, the village on the eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula that is dominated by the great arched rock just offshore. Percé is the most visited place on the peninsula, with a main street of shops, restaurants and galleries, a wharf from which boats leave for Bonaventure Island and its gannet colony, and the coastal walks around the rock. Staying in the village means you can walk to the shore at dawn or after the day trippers have gone, which is a different experience from the middle of the day. A hotel-and-motel format usually combines simple rooms with easy parking, but room types, views, dining, facilities and the season it is open all vary, so check them when you book. Prices peak in July and August.
Location and getting around
Percé is about an hour from Gaspé town and about two hours from Carleton-sur-Mer, and the village runs along the shore beneath the cliffs. The boat trips to Bonaventure Island and around the rock leave from the wharf and depend on the weather and the season, so check times and book ahead in summer. A car is useful for the wider peninsula, but you can walk around the village itself, which is small and compact. Parking in the centre can fill in the high season, so ask what the property offers.
The rooms and the feel
Expect a simple, practical stay with a focus on location and value. We do not list room features, bathrooms, WiFi, breakfast or views here, so check them when you book, and ask whether rooms look onto the sea, the rock or the road. If you want a sea view, request it early, since those rooms sell out first, and if you are sensitive to noise, ask about quieter rooms away from the main street.
Who it suits and what to know: choose Hotel Motel Fleur De Lys if you want a Percé base within walking distance of the rock and the wharf, if you plan to take the boat trips, or if you prefer a modest stay to a larger hotel. It suits families, couples and independent travellers who plan to spend their time outdoors. July and August are the busiest, and many businesses in the village close or reduce hours from mid-autumn, so check opening dates before you plan an off-season trip.
Ask about cancellation terms, because the sea crossing to Bonaventure depends on the weather, and compare midweek nights with weekends if your dates allow. Pack a rain jacket, since fog and showers are common on this coast even in midsummer.
