The Plateforme Vitrée Suspendue, or Suspended Glass Platform, is a highlight of the Percé UNESCO Global Geopark, offering visitors a unique and exhilarating perspective on the region's natural beauty. Opened in June 2017, this glass-floored observation deck is perched on a cliff face 200 meters (656 feet) above sea level, providing stunning panoramic views of Percé Rock, the village of Percé, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The platform extends 25 meters (82 feet) from the cliff, creating a dizzying effect for those who dare to venture onto its glass surface.

The geopark itself is a natural site recognized by UNESCO for its exceptional geology. It features 18 km of hiking trails, leading to various lookouts, a cave, and a waterfall. To reach the platform, visitors can take a 30-minute walk along a gravel path from Rue de l'Église, a trail of 1.3 km, or opt for a shuttle service. The Percé UNESCO Global Geopark also offers other attractions, including a multimedia exhibit, hiking trails, and a zipline.
