| Erected in 1906 and still operational. Named after nearby Marten River, La Martre Lighthouse is considered by some to be the crown jewel of the Gaspé lighthouses. Though fully automated, it is the only light in Quebec that operates in a non automated manner during the day, so that tourists can see the Fresnel lens rotating in its mercury bath using the original system of weights and cables. |
