The charm of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a French archipelago off the coast of Canada

It's a scattering of French soil off the coast of #Canada. For two centuries, the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, with its fish-rich waters, attracted people from Brittany, Normandy but above all from France's Basque country. Their descendants still keep Basque heritage alive, such as pelota and traditional songs. FRANCE 24 takes you to discover these islands with their pretty seascapes and rich biodiversity. We also set sail with some fishermen to catch halibut.

[@eugenejonathan3733]

were there nuclear weapons on the aircraft kept on the islands to support an uprising

[@tiffaniterris2886]

I'm not sure how this happened, France lost all its territory, so how exactly did this small Island manage to remain a part of France.

[@StamfordBridge]

Had to ruin it and talk about global warming rubbish

[@puffins5497]

You have the IQ of a grilled cheese sandwich if you genuinely belive global warming isn't real despite all the scientific evidence

[@connors5443]

We're the ones as humans that ruined it and created the problem of global warming so we're technically the "rubbish".

[@StamfordBridge]

Ah, yes, pesky scientific reality should never be mentioned.

Bloody fool

[@StamfordBridge]

@@soldier2297 Yes, some people flying in jets negates the entire global scientific community’s 99% consensus on this matter, not to mention vast, overwhelming categories of empirical evidence. I must be the fool.
