Percé (French pronunciation: [pɛʁse]) is a city located on the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, in Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada.

In addition to Percé itself, the town's territory also includes the communities of Barachois, Belle-Anse, Bougainville, Bridgeville, Cap-d'Espoir, Cannes-de-Roches, Coin-du-Banc, L'Anse-à-Beaufils, Pointe-Saint-Pierre, Rameau, Saint-Georges-de-Malbaie, and Val-d'Espoir.

[1] Used as a seasonal fishing centre during the New France era, permanent settlement began in the early 19th century with the arrival of Irish, French Canadian, and Jersey natives.

[3] The main sector of economic activity is tourism due to the presence of Percé Rock as well as Bonaventure Island and its northern gannets.

The efforts made in recent years have helped stimulate and diversify its economy through tourism, the city's main economic activity niche.

With more than 500,000 visitors per year, the town of Percé plays an important role in the Quebec tourist economy, and has been rewarded for its undeniable quality of life.

It is populated by one of the most important gannet colonies in the world and many other species of birds such as puffins, cormorants and murres also use the island as a home and breeding ground.

Behind the St. Michael's Church of Percé, walking trails lead up past lookouts to the summit of Mont Saint-Anne of 348 metres (1,142 ft), the Grotto of Mother Mary with a waterfall and Crevasse.

The region is home to thousands of marine birds, which crowd the rocks of the Parc national de l'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé facing of the town, just 3.2 kilometres off the coast of Percé.
