The retro-industrial look of the power plant will take you back in time!

Project Éole is managed by the Éole Foundation, a charitable organization whose ambition is to enable all generations to discover, understand and take ownership of renewable energy as a lever for autonomy, innovation and resilience for the benefit of all.

We went there while we were walking around the Gaspé and we really enjoyed our experience. The guide who led the tour (one of the owners of the place from what I could understand) was … More Very friendly, explained the history of the place well and seemed passionate! It was also very impressive to discover so closely and to be able to explore the underside of the wind turbine infrastructure. A must-do if you are in the area!
