Here is a list of things to know as you ponder your decision.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;66284&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>1. YOU WON&#8217;T THINK ABOUT WHAT TIME IT IS BUT YOU&#8217;LL HAVE TIME<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It&#8217;s true, in Gasp\u00e9sie, the pace of life is different. Maybe it&#8217;s because of the surf, but it seems that like everything is more fluid. We like to live differently; above all, we like to take our time. And since we live in a postcard setting, we often want to stop and enjoy it. After a while, you too will count the distance in time rather than in kilometres. And it won&#8217;t be long before you yourself become the embodiment of your words when you tell newcomers, \u201cIn Gasp\u00e9sie, we don\u2019t think about what time it is, but we have time.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>2. YOU WON\u2019T BE A NUMBER<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It is impossible to go out in a public place without people greeting you and asking how you are. Even when walking down the street, Gaspesians wish each other a good day and smile sincerely. As an added bonus, you&#8217;ll probably be asked, \u201cWho\u2019s your family?\u201d while you wait in line at the grocery shop. Or they&#8217;ll try to figure out your hometown from your last name. In Gasp\u00e9sie, you&#8217;re not a number. If we\u2019re so interested in you and your origins, it is because we\u2019re really happy to get to know you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>3. YOU\u2019LL NEVER BE IN TROUBLE<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This winter, you may come home after a few days away and your lane will have been cleared of snow by your neighbour from three doors over. Your waste bins will probably be placed at the curb when you forget about them. And what about the 10 people who stop to lend a hand if you get a flat tire while on the road? It&#8217;s just normal, in Gasp\u00e9sie, to help each other out and be part of a community.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>4. YOU\u2019LL FEEL SAFE<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you forget your cross-country skis at a trailhead, chances are you&#8217;ll find them in the same place a week later. Even if you leave your keys in your car one night, it&#8217;ll still be parked in your driveway the next morning. In Gasp\u00e9sie, people trust each other. Here, children play outside worry-free. Because their parents know all too well that they&#8217;re safe.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>5. YOU\u2019LL BECOME ONE WITH NATURE<\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When you open your curtains in the morning, you might see a mother deer and her baby helping themselves to apples from your tree. When the sea starts to ice up, you can watch seals sunning themselves on the rocks. Everywhere you go, nature will remind you of its presence. And that&#8217;s just fine. In Gasp\u00e9sie, we like to live in harmony with the animals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]\r\n<h1>TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE REGION<\/h1>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;4 steps TO SETTLING IN GASP\u00c9SIE&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;info&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fvivreengaspesie.com%2Fen%2F4-steps-TO-SETTLING-IN-GASPeSIE|title:4%20%C3%A9tapes%20pour%20t&#8217;installer%20en%20Gasp%C3%A9sie&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;VIDEOS&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;videos&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Do you want to contemplate the sea and mountains daily?
