Le rocher Percé est l'une des plus grandes et les plus spectaculaires arches naturelles du monde. Il se trouve dans le Golfe du Saint-Laurent, à l'extrême est de la Gaspésie face au village de Percé, au Québec.

Le rocher fait partie, avec l'île Bonaventure voisine, du Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, géré par la Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (SÉPAQ).

C'est un massif calcaire âgé de 375 millions d'années, de 433 mètres en longueur, 90 mètres de largeur et 88 mètres au point le plus élevé. Son poids serait de 5 millions de tonnes. L'arche en elle-même mesure 15 mètres de hauteur.

Autrefois, le rocher possédait une seconde arche. Elle s'est écroulée le 17 juin 1845. On estime que l'arche actuelle disparaîtra elle aussi dans 400 ans.  Wikipédia

Percé Rock (French rocher Percé, "pierced rock") is one of the largest and most spectacular natural arches in the world.

It rises sheer from the Gulf of St. Lawrence just off the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec near the village of Percé. It is a massive limestone stack 433 metres (1420 ft) long, 90 metres (296 ft) wide and 88 metres (289 ft) at its highest point. The rock gets its name from a large 15 metre/50ft high arch near its seaward end.

There were actually two arches in the rock, when the outer arch collapsed on June 17, 1845. For four hours at a time during low tide, the water recedes from a wide spit that allows the rock itself to be visited. Percé Rock is a major tourist attraction in Quebec, with picturesque views of the rock from both Percé and nearby Bonaventure Island. It contains millions of marine fossils such as trilobites, tetracoralla, brachiopods and ostracods from the Devonian period. Wikipédia
