Paspébiac (French pronunciation: [paspebjak]) is a city on Baie des Chaleurs in the Gaspésie region of eastern Quebec, Canada.

But it only saw periodic visits during the fishing season until 1755 when settlers arrived from Acadia, Normandy, the Pays Basque, and, after the British conquest of Quebec, Jersey.

Set on the hill away from the fishery there were the Robin farm buildings and a large house, known as The Park, where the General Manager lived.

As late as 1860, the ocean was the only available means of transportation,[8] and there is record of an observer in 1858 writing about "le manque absolu de chemins" in the region.

[1] In 1886, riots broke out in Paspebiac because of the bankruptcy of the firm of Charles Robin and Company,[8] which had resulted from the failure of the banks of Jersey.

Ships would leave Paspébiac laden with dry cod bound for ports in the West Indies and South America.
