Saint-Pierre, Administrative capital in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, France

Saint-Pierre sits on a small island off the coast of Newfoundland, featuring houses painted in bright colors against the North Atlantic landscape.

The settlement became a permanent French outpost in the late 17th century, serving as a crucial base for fishing operations in the North Atlantic waters.

The town maintains French traditions in North America through its language, architecture, and culinary practices, including fresh seafood preparations and French pastries.

Regular ferry services and an airport connect Saint-Pierre to mainland Canada, providing essential transportation links for residents and visitors.

The territory represents the last remaining piece of French North America, where euros are used and French administrative systems operate just kilometers from Canada.
