St. Pierre-Miquelon



St. Pierre and Miquelon are two tiny fishing islands off the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada, owned by France. I went to St. Pierre for a weekend in August 1999 with friends. Back then I didn’t have much travel budget, but I’m glad I went, because not many people have been here (and even in August it was cold). You need to enter French customs to go there, and it’s a little impressive (or strange) how the entire town is so totally, obstinately French in language, culture, food, and goods. It is absolutely not Canada. Nevertheless, friendly people, and as ever, it’s amazing how fluent you become in French after a few hours of drinking.
