SAINT PIERRE ET MIQUELON

 

 

Twenty-five kilometers from the coast of Canada, the archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a little bit of France apart. The houses are as colorful as in a Scandinavian country, the Basque festivals are good with the Breton pancakes and the accent reminds that of Quebec! Beyond a singular culture to be discovered at the discretion of its small unusual museums, it is a destination of pure nature which one never tires of surveying the landscapes between land and sea while watching for seals, humpback whales and birds migratory

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon is an archipelago of colorful houses off the coast of Canada. The group includes the islands of Saint-Pierre, Miquelon-Langlade, Île aux Marins and a handful of uninhabited islets. Here, the geography is American, the landscape is Nordic, the language is French, the festivals are Basque, the stamps are highly sought after and total relaxation is guaranteed.

The Bretons and in particular the people of Saint-Malo were in possession of the “secret of Newfoundland” since a date that is difficult to determine but which seems to predate the discovery of the island by the English and the Portuguese. In addition, cod played a central role in the nets of the economic and cultural quadrant of the provinces of Atlantic Canada, the Magdalen Islands and of course the archipelago of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. An even more astonishing element of this transatlantic activity is the naval and cartographic contribution offered to expand other adventures such as the exploration of the coasts of Brazil that Jacques Cartier also knew. Proof of the stay of the Saint-Malo native Jacques Cartier in Brazil is the baptism in Saint-Malo, on July 31, 1528, of a Brazilian native named Catherine of Brazil, the godmother being Jacques Cartier's wife.
