Jean-Francois emailed today (he’s still in the Caribbean) that he had spoken to relatives in Gaspe ( he was born there) and they are celebrating the 475th anniversary of Jacques Cartier landing there claiming the land for France and King Francis I in 1534. They are having many activities this summer including tallships sailing into the harbor. This has been added to our itinerary.
