Newport, USA? Newport, Gaspésie
region? No! This Newport is in the Haut-Saint-François. Don’t look for this
village on a map: you won’t find it. In fact, this municipality of 750
inhabitants, of diverse origins and cultures, is a grouping of four distinct
hamlets: Island Brook, Saint-Mathias-de-Bonneterre, Randboro and Lawrence. Four
different horizons.

More than 200 years of history have passed through this vast territory
that is mainly made up of forests, valleys and streams. This area is a lovely habitat
for various wildlife species that attract curious visitors and hunters every
year.

Newport is also a state of mind. A way of life, in the countryside. It
is peace, tranquility and harmony with nature.

Robert Cyr, citizen of Newport
