La Verrue

La Verrue is a hill on the Saint Pierre and Miquelon archipelago that offers wide views over the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding islands from its summit. The hill shapes the landscape of this French island group located off the coast of Canada.

The hill served as a landmark for sailors and fishermen since French colonization of the archipelago in the 17th century. Its location made it an important reference point in the maritime history of this remote French settlement.

The hill forms part of the natural landscape that shapes the daily activities of local inhabitants, who maintain strong connections to French maritime traditions.

The hill can be reached via hiking paths and is best visited during warmer months when conditions are more favorable. The climb is possible on most days but requires appropriate clothing for the changeable climate of this northern region.

The hill represents one of the few French territorial summits in North America, situated within an archipelago that remains under French governance.
