Introducing Caraquet
The oldest of the Acadian villages, Caraquet, was founded in 1757 by refugees from forcibly abandoned homesteads further south. It’s now the lively center of the peninsula’s French community. Caraquet’s colorful, bustling fishing port, off Boul St Pierre Est, has an assortment of moored vessels splashing at the dock. East and west Boul St Pierre are divided at Rue le Portage.
