Island-Hopping: A bit of France closer to home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- They may appear on the map to be a part of Canada. But for more than a century, the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, located off Newfoundland, passed back and forth between French and British control until, finally, the islands became permanently French. Conor Knighton visits the islands that were originally made wealthy by cod fishing (and later profited off of American Prohibition), and which today are experiencing a tourism boom among Americans seeking an authentic taste of France on the western shores of the Atlantic.

It even has its own emoji 🇵🇲
Sucks that Texas doesn't have it's own emoji.
@@elcuhangeltv it’s because Texas isn’t a territory or anything, it’s a state. Then every country would need emojis for each province/states flag
@@danielparvin9083
Yea ik
@@danielparvin9083 and Saint Pierre is a territorial collectivity of France
Ooo, ooo, just discovered this! I visited St. Pierre ten years ago and, indeed, it's complicated to get there, but worth it. Drove to Nova Scotia. Took the ferry from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. Took the ferry from Newfoundland to St. Pierre and everything in reverse to get home. The journey itself was worth it. This segment brought back memoires - merci!
Kerguelen Islands next for you? Considerably more difficult to reach but French !
Legally they use euros
But you can also use Canadian dollar there also
Likewise in Greenland
In Greenland officially they use Danish and Faeroese krone but they even use Canadian dollars too
France in North America. I need to go there one day. French food, French wine, French culture and the French language. I need to experience St. Pierre and Miquelon.
@Jon In SLO they speak weird french
@Jon In SLO Quebec is not France
My dream places to visit 🥰🥰🥰:
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Jersey & Guernsey
Faroe Islands
Isle of Man
Cocos Islands
Sao Tome and Principe
Guernsey is one of my favorite places in the world
I love the isle of man! it’s worth the visit
neo-colonialism at its finest. they never let go of their colonies, instead they just redefined them
There are of course other places in the Americas that belong to France that are more than just territories. Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana are 3 of the 5 overseas Departments of France that are integral parts of the actual French Republic. There are also islands in the Caribbean like St Martin and St Bathélemy (the former is infamous in the airport runway that forces planes to take off and land extremely close to tourists on the beach, the latter was a Swedish colony for nearly 100 years before being sold to France in 1877). On the other side of the continent, there's the uninhabited Clipperton Island, that is also owned by France
Also the airport is not in French Saint Martin it’s in Dutch Sint Maarten. As for the distinction in different colonies being integral vs not, ask a native Hawaiian or Mayotian if it really makes a difference. Not that human instincts aren’t natural, but they are definitely brutal, colonialism and imperialism has always been the way of the world. But simply pointing out that such distinctions in overseas territories matter little to anyone besides those governments; to everyone on the outside it doesn’t matter as far as realpolitik, to anyone in the territory not in power it also doesn’t matter, hence my Hawaiian or Mayotian example
@@TheLocalLt Clipperton was never given up by France. There is regularly a french military ship that goes there and puts a french flag there and reinstates french sovereignty on the island.
@@guguss3804 yeah Ive since learned that, edited
We're speaking of NORTH America only here. It's the last remaining territory of France.
The Quatorze Julliet doesn't look very warm there on those islands. Not exactly mid-summer weather at least that day from how everyone is dressed
Dude I so want to visit lol from Houston
I told a friend of mine the other night France still has one remaining territory in North America, and she didn't believe me! She looked it up and was shocked
Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Martin too. French Guiana is in South America as well.
Very good insight for all viewer out there, hope my country malaysia can learn from CBS sunday morning
You had me at wine
Not sure why france is neglecting french guiana.. its their largest territory outside of mainland... they are missing so much.. it has great potential.. i wish french guiana will become developed soon.. they stayed with france they want to always be french so dont neglect them treat them as your own.
Actually, French Guinea has a lower crime rate than Guadeloupe. But 95% of the department is inaccessible jungle. The French probably see no point in investing in it.
@@briantravelmanFrance heavily invests in French Guyana, but it won’t and doesn’t want to use the 95% of the territory that is jungle as they protect it as a natural park.
The same is true for their extensive EEZ around the world that they protect as a protected maritime area.
Vous inquiétez pas les gars, personne vous oublie ici 😆😉😃 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
Dude never heard of this until dec. 20, 2020
A lot of people haven't. I was telling a friend of mine about it and she didn't believe me.
Is the French spoken here more similar to Metropolitan France or to Canadian French?
metropolitan france but with thick accents and a few vocabulary differences
It seems closer to metropolitan french.
I'm surprised Basque isn't spoken there
Danke 🇩🇪👍
👏👏👏
The British forgot this island exists lol
🙂
This place is free de Corona virus 🦠 I want live there
Yep
That emoji is bacteria, not a virus
If you want Cod wars. St. Pierre and Miquelon next. Last piece of New France.
Quebec is an easier trip
Quebec is Quebecois though. Not French.
I make a notion that they allow Americans to visit passportless. I mean, we're not gonna stay there and where are we gonna go from there?
No. You have to use your passport.
I see a lot of potential in these islands for urban development.
An East Coast Silicon Valley perhaps?
Lol
No
What makes it better than any other random teritory on the eqst coast?
No, don't invade them, it all was worked out.
Oh my god. my mind was like poowwww... How can there be a French territory in North America and no one talks about it.
it is not the only one, there are 6 french islands in north america (st pierre and miquelon near canada, guadeloupe, martinique, st bathélémy and st martin in the caribbean and clipperton which is uninhabited near mexico)
:p
Isn't it weird, when individuals trade places with amounts of possible technical difficulties with the world's giant media corporations, in the event of any noticeable slip-up which could pressure it in some quality standard?
If the island is french why not call it France?
it would be like calling Puerto Rico, the U.S.
its a region, Aquitaine, Alsace, la réunion are france but we call yhem by their region name
@@marktackett4725 And no it's absolutely not like porto rico, they are french, feel french, have french ancestry, and can vote for the president.
@@brdx3231 where is porto rico?
@@marktackett4725 porto is the french term for puerto
I have a WWII French Army rifle. It has a white surrender flag on the barrel and was only dropped once!!
Cowards!! Worse yet, they capitulated to Germany with the Vichy French!!
Put it where I think, even if the white flag will turn brown!
