Map of Chaleur Bay

Chaleur Bay or Baie des Chaleurs, inlet of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, southeastern Canada. A submerged valley of the Restigouche River, it separates New Brunswick from the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec Province and is a noted fishing ground. The bay was sighted in July 1534 by the French explorer Jacques Cartier, who named it for the great chaleur (“warmth”) he experienced here.
