Basic Information

About territory

Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France located in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, near Newfoundland and Labrador. The archipelago consists of eight islands and has a history deeply rooted in French colonization and fishing traditions. Originally part of New France, it remained French after the Seven Years' War, serving as a crucial base for cod fishing. Today, the economy relies heavily on fishing and, increasingly, tourism, with the islands offering a unique blend of French and North American cultures. Residents are French citizens with full political rights, including representation in the French National Assembly.
