Grande-Anse, New Brunswick

Grande-Anse (French pronunciation: [ɡʁɑ̃dɑ̃s]) is a former village in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.

It held village status prior to 2023 and is now part of the town of Rivière-du-Nord.

On 1 January 2023, Grande-Anse amalgamated with Bertrand, Maisonnette, Saint-Léolin, and all or part of four local service districts to form the new town of Rivière-du-Nord.

[6] Grande Anse has a stone church building, called Saint Jude.

[2] With attendance falling from 30,000 visitors per year in its early days to just 500 in 2015, it was re-imagined as the Founding Cultures Museum (Musée des cultures fondatrices), a museum about the people who have lived in the Grande Anse area, including the First Nations as well as the Acadian, Irish, Scottish, and British immigrants.
