The drive

Route 132 follows the south shore of the St. Lawrence east from Matane to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, on the way to the Gaspé Peninsula. The road runs between the river and the foothills of the Chic-Chocs, past capes, small villages and lighthouses.

Matane has the Phare-Musée maritime de Matane, a lighthouse dating from about 1906 with a 20 m tower. Cap-Chat lies along the way, with the Éole wind turbine. Sainte-Anne-des-Monts is the gateway to Gaspésie National Park, reached by Route 299.

It is a scenic coastal drive rather than a twisty one. From Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Route 132 continues around the peninsula toward Gaspé.
