Saint-Pierre & Miquelon archipelago (8 islands) is the only French territory in North America and the last testimonial of New France (that later became Canada). This overseas collectivity consists of 2 main islands : Miquelon and Langlade (110 km2) on one side and Saint Pierre on the other side. Most of the 6.000 inhabitants stays in Saint Pierre island which is also the smaller one (26 km2). Southern coast of the New Foundland is the closest land (only 25 km) in the neighborhood. Climate is humid and cold, borderline sub-arctical, because of the Labrador current and polar air masses.
These islands were annexed in 1536 by the French explorer Jacques Cartier on behalf of the King of France. The archipelago was disputed several times by the British until the treaty of Paris (1814) that gave it back to France. In june1816 the islands were resettled by French people. Inhabitants were fishermen mainly coming from 3 French regions: Brittany, Normandy and Basque country. This is the reason why those 3 region colors appear on the flag.
The 200th years birthday of the return to France of Saint Pierre et Miquelon will be celebrated in 2016(http://www.celebrations2016.com/fr/programmation) !
