jamiesno Says: This is a newer with many religious and medical artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries including exhibits on Prohibition which are always fun. The place is also privately owned and operated making it unique.
jamiesno Says: Notre Dame des Marins was built in 1874 and located on a small island you will pass when entering St. Pierre. I didn't have time to get over there but it looked like a cool place to spend some time.
jamiesno Says: When entering the harbour you will see a landmark. It is the Pointe aux Canons Lighthouse. It makes a great welcome to the area.It is automated and not open to the general public but you can walk over there. I remember getting lots of pictures from the boat when I arrived...
jamiesno Says: The Pointe aux Canons Battery is located just before the jetty to the lighthouse on the site of a much older fort that defended the Saint-Pierre & Miquelon islands during the British raids of 1690-1713. During the 19th century, this modern battery was established as a...

Hotel Neptune: Don't even leave the hotel
joeandcarrie Says: Yummy. And never see the bottom of your wine glass again. Eventually we had to leave wine in the glass so they'd stop refilling it. One waiter just circled the room with a bottle of red in one hand, white in the other.Great food (French onion soup) and the best chocolate...
joeandcarrie Says: Neat little place tucked in residental neighborhood. Seafaring theme...unsurprising I guess. Great food (says joe) learn some french before you order (says carrie). But you absolutely can't just walk in off the street. On that we agree. Baked salmon on a cedar shingle. With...
For such a small place, the population is very affluent and the place has a vibrant nightlife. Most things are quite expensive. But being France, cigarettes and liquor are cheap. Whenever you buy something, get a packet of Gaulois cigarettes and some vin with it; Suddenly all seems cheap.
The people are curious, warm and friendly. St. Pierre and Miquelon is a "must see" for all.

BlaineandPat Says: We were advised to make reservations for the ferry, but we traveled to the island on a Sunday in August, 2005 and the ferry was lightly booked. Considering only one trip a day is offered I doubt it fills up.When we went there was one daily trip offered at 2:45pm. In the...
BlaineandPat Says: You won't realize it's there unless you're told - but there's a small mall within walking distance of downtown.It's a good place to buy snacks - something we actually had difficulty finding on a Sunday afternoon when everything was closedit's atthe far end of the harbour,...
BlaineandPat Says: There's a small shop downtown on the main street heading up the up the hill from the harbour. It sells locally produced items (And there really aren't many of those). This includes locally made "wines". but.....this is deep in the heart of some very, very cold islands. This...
Built exclusively with panels of wood from Cutty Sark Whiskey Crates, this villa is a landmark from the era of American Prohibition. This building is privately owned and not open to the public. Tour operators will point it out during excursions.

Miquelon is a town of 700 inhabitants who's history and culture is intertwined with that of Acadia. Shortly after the Acadian deportation of 1755, hundreds of Acadian families sought refuge here. Today, the town of Miquelon is proud of its heritage, natural landmarks and history.

jamiesno Says: Since many Saint-Pierrais and Miquelonnais are of Basque Heritage, Basque tradtions abound adding to the local flavor. A type of handball called Pelote basque, a traditional Basque sport, is played against this massive outdoor wall. Zazpiak Bat is Basque for "The Seven Make...
jamiesno Says: The traditional game played in France is boules, also called pétanque.It requires as much dexterity as it does social skill, as it is frequently played in public squares as more of a gathering. Visitors wishing to join in may find it easier if they do speak French.
crummey Says: St. Pierre et Miquelon is a department of France. It is a number of islands. However, only two of these are occupied; St. Pierre and Miquelon. Miquelon is the larger. St. Pierre is the capitol. A ferry runs between them.You can get to St. Pierre by a ferry from Fortune...
jamiesno Says: This is the post office on the island, it is apparently an Alsatian style of architecture.It is a great place to go and send a post card!!!
jamiesno Says: On the North-East side of the island, the Transpacific Hull shifts every year due to strong gale winds and winter storms. This sculpture of rusted iron is visible for miles and makes for wonderful photography.
jamiesno Says: This is Saint-Pierre's fourth cemetary. Located on a gentle slope, thousands of monuments are built above ground in a style unique in North America. The Cemetary is open at all times. Please show respect when visiting
The travel agent and the official St. Pierre homepage said we didn't need passports. Well, the lady gendarme at customs let us know that was not at all copacetic. It was a beautiful- if hard to get...
Saint Pierre - France's Falklands
St Pierre is on the way to.....well nowhere really. In fact, the main reason we went there was to be able to say. "We've been to St Pierre." The island, an overseas department of France, is in the sea...

I went on a short 3 day trip to St. Pierre in 1998. Being 18, this was my first trip by myself, and I admit that may have been a key factor in the experience I had. I thought the island was nice, but...
