- Welcome to St. Pierre et Miquelon, a slice of France in North America! Saint Pierre and Miquelon to Canada is only 25 kilometres! Take a ferry to France from Newfoundland!
This is one of the most unique places you can visit around Canada. From baguettes and croissants to Peugeots and euro's, It's France in North America!
In this video, we take you on a short tour through St. Pierre and Miquelon, showcasing some of the best things to do in Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a popular place to visit from Newfoundland, as it only requires a 1.5-hour ferry. However, you can also fly there from a number of cities, including Montreal, Halifax, St. John's, and Paris!
We also want to thank Tourism Saint Pierre et Miquelon for helping us with the trip and the drone footage.

I've been watching your videos since last year and I really am inspired by your every craft. I love your contents, stories and simplicity. I love you, guys!
Wow, thank you so much. We love making them
I’ve been there, people are very nice. I went to a small bakery that had some pizza, ordered a few and the owners gave me one if everything they had, says something about the place
France all over the planet 🇫🇷🌎🌏🌍
More like england!

I found out about these islands a few years ago, And have been fascinated by them ever since. I really want to go someday
It's really interesting for sure. Go in the summer! :)
Same
Same
I wish they actually came to Newfoundland. For us "Newfies" to get to Saint Pierre, it's like a two hour boat ride lol.
I'd love to go there!! I'm from Newfoundland 🇫🇷🥐
A truly unique place. The locals must be fascinating.
a shit place lol
I’ve been fascinated by these islands hopefully I’ll visit it soon
I love the video!!! That is one place I need to visit. Greetings from Richmond BC, Canada.🎉
Awesome! We hope to go back as well
I enjoy watching your videos from the turkey.. .I wished so Someday You could come to here for vacation future..All My Respect and Greetings to you from Istanbul City.
We've been in Turkey. Went to Istanbul, Pamukale and Cappadocia. Beautiful place.
I just left instabul 3 weeks ago.
And stay out of ours! Whites only!
@@jgrif3856 ignorant and disgusting attitude, you are delusional
Great video thanks for sharing .I will be visiting there next time if I go new foundland again
*Lives in North America* ... *Doesn't speak English*
Typical french people lol! Jokes aside, as a french man who's moving to canada, it's good to know that if I ever miss my country, I'll be able to warm up my heart with a croissant and a few glasses of wine so easily. Def gonna spend the french national day in St Pierre.
haha... Quebec is very heavily French as well so you'll feel at home there too
The first time I went to Montréal, I met plenty of Québécois who didn’t speak English. You’ll fit in great!
Bon courage pour votre déménagement !
DrRidaz we dont want french people in Canada, stay out.
@@NationalismDjazair You'd be happy in Trump's America. You're obviously not happy here. Bye.
I just came here after the live stream, great content! Thanks!
hah awesome! We gotta go back on warmer days haha
Never knew about these islands, until tonight!
Wow, Beautiful place ❤
It seems like a really interesting place. Do you think there is enough things to do here if I stay for a week?
Hmmm, it's really not that big. I think 2-3 days in St.Pierre is more than enough unless there's something specific you want to do. Miquelon has much less people and more nature, so perhaps another 2-3 days if you want to do some hikes
@@MustDoCanada Then if I combine both of the islands 5 days will be enough. Thank you for answering! I'm asking because I want to visit this place from europe so I want to make sure it is long enough to justify the long flight
@@benlechner6352 For sure, I'd highly recommend spending time in Newfoundland though. Way better :)
Matt and Carla, I watched all your videos. Learnt a lot about Canada and history of the great nation, only from you guys. Wish you guys keep travelling and hope one day I visit there as well
Thank you so much. Really glad you enjoyed them :)
The most fascinating thing is there are Dacia, and other French automobiles on these islands, the rest of Canada does not get.
"Rest of Canada" 😀 This is not Canada 😀
Great and good tour and knowledge video 😊😊😊
Great video. Those French Islands have always interested me being part of Europe, yet so close to Canada. We live on Salt Spring Island located off of the extreme south west coast of Canada. You need to visit our Southern Gulf Islands. Cheers
Did anybody come here after playing today's Worldle and didn't know the 3rd country near Canada? I had no idea. I learned something new today.
Super cool!
*When France wins the long game against Britain*
I didn’t know there was people on TH-cam talking about where I live, l’amour de saint-Pierre!
haha Cool! Hopefully we can come back and do a video with better weather :)
i knew about this place since elementary school. I find it funny that a France island is right next to Canada.
en tant que breton: je vous félicite un superbe reportage st Pierre et Miquelon: Congratulations for your reporting Trip in St Pierre et Miquelon, Welle Done and continued to offer a lot of good vidéos in TH-cam : thanks for Brittony ...cheers...... :-)
Thank you so much Yann. We only wish the weather has of been better so we could have shown more of the landscapes
@@MustDoCanada maybe you will come back to visit in another season ;-)
see you soon ;-)
@@yannreminiac6981 True!
Thanks for that charming video of the islands ,Born in Saint pierre and live 46 years of my life on these islands,last i been home was in 2009 .
Congratulations video is short but give a good pichure of the islands and what you can see and found there.
Beautiful!!!
xoxo The Clarences
So informative and interesting, thank you.
Nice video. The pastries and dessert look delicious.
As usual a great video from the most lovely couples .
Very informative and professional filming .
Thank you so much Ashraf
Interesting to see that they share the colourful house paint schemes common to some other northern maritime regions.
C'est tres bonn. J'Habite en America (je suis americain). Je veux visiter Saint Pierre.
this country seem great, i love the house colour
haha yeah. Check out our Newfoundland and St. John's video too. So pretty
I have read about this islands in the old Soviet book, and amazing fact that population number hasn't changed since 1980's!
Crazy! Yeah, I guess there's not many reasons to really move there.
Just found your channel while researching St. Pierre Dories. Loved this video and subbed. I live along the coast of Maine, within a few minutes drive of the US/Canadian border (Campobello Island). My family (both sides) are from Canada (Nova Scotia and PEI) and still have relatives there. I've been planning a trip in my sailboat to St. Pierre (perhaps in 2021 or whenever this Covid thing is behind us). I've been to Newfoundland many times but never to St. Pierre et Miquelon. My French isn't very good though. The last time I was in Paris, they asked me to please stop trying to speak French because they spoke English and I was "ruining their beautiful language!"😁
Very cool! Thank you! Oh wow, that sounds like a beautiful place to live
Hello, can I ask a question, I live in Sweden and want to travel to these islands, but I did not find ships that travel there. I just want to know how you traveled and what ship you took.. Thank you
That's awesome! This is the link to the ferries: www.spm-ferries.fr/en/home/
@@MustDoCanada thank you
Incrível como um lugar junto ao Canadá ainda pertencer à França! É lindo, porém bem afastado. Só para os aventureiros
Pero si eres de Brasil, técnicamente tienes frontera con Francia ya que la Guayana francesa tiene frontera con Amapá

Who else searched for this after finding out that they only have 1 confirmed case of COVID19?
Wtf? 😂😂😂 Are you fvkin kidding me? Nooooo 😂😂 did the same thing 😂
same here :d
Damn this is one unique club
Yes!!
Me
Going down to SPM this June for my 4th visit
Surprised to Hear about a Island which belongs to France in North America..! Thanks for the Information
I m here after knowing there is only one case of corona
Can you tell me what time of the year it is? August?
I believe it was June....
I SO love you guys!!!
Nice video, I was just in St Pierre too and had better weather, didn't goto Miquelon though. I wanted to rent a bike but there is only one place and the guy just decided not to open up. Ile aux Marins was my favourite and worth all the legwork to get to St Pierre. I have a video series on my channel too. I flew out to Halifax and have aerial views of Miquelon.
Very cool! I wish we had nice weather. ile aux Marins would have been better had it not been raining and cold. But it looks very cool. and yes, the one odd thing is the businesses. There aren't many and sometimes they close.
Please answer if I reach here on visit visa can I change my visit visa on work permit 🎉🎉
Nice video. .. I am American. Would I need a passport to visit there?
yes. Same with Canada
I’m Canadian and I didn’t even know this until a few years ago. We didn’t even learn about these French islands beside Canada in school. Mandela effect? 🤔
haha yeah I don't remember ever learning about it either. I don't think many do
@@MustDoCanada It is certainly rare to find anyone from outside the Atlantic provinces who has heard of SPM. Even most people in Quebec have no idea that there is a part of France just off the coast of Newfoundland. I remember once telling an acquaintance of mine from Montreal about these islands, and he was convinced that I was pulling his leg. This was back in the pre-Google days, so I had no way of proving it to him!
2020 me : 🇲🇵 I can't draw this flag
2021 me : 🇵🇲 Saint Pierre et Miquelon harder
My family name is Miquelon, so I am very interested in learning more about the island, the history, and would love to do some research on my ancestry when I visit someday. Any tips you can provide are much appreciated! Thank you!
interesting! It might be best to start with our travel guide: www.mustdocanada.com/things-to-do-in-saint-pierre-and-miquelon/
Nice vid 🌹
I lovo love so you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉love GREAT FRANCE!….❤❤❤❤
At what time of year was your visit? TIA.
This was in May. Weather would be better from June to August or September
Check out Farley Mowat's the boat who would float.i was there in 1960 and then yet again in 1980
oh wow, I wonder if it's changed much
What is the process to get there from UAE
I don't know exactly but it would be similar to going to France. I'd go to Newfoundland as well, explore, and then take the ferry over for a short time. But they are great at getting back to you if you reach out to the tourism board. Links are in the description :)
St Pierre and Miquelon is actually France guys isn't it? Like France PROPER and absolutely nothing to do with Canada am I right? If you hold an EU passport can you go there without a visa and for as long as you like? Anybody know?
yes its like France. nothing to do with Canada, but I'm not sure about the passport thing
yes they are totally part of france , use Euro and abide to every law of mainland france , so EU passport you dont need visas
@@thegoodgunner Are you sure about that ? Cause St Pierre et Miquelon is an overseas collectivity and not a overseas department, which means that it is part of France but not part of the EU territory. Pretty sure that people from St Pierre can go anywhere in the EU as they want with their french passport, but not sure about the other way around
They do a lot of trade with Newfoundland so they’re very soft relations with Canada. I hear some businesses accept CAD$ there as well
Is it doable as a day trip from Fortune?
Perhaps yes. You'd have to check the first and last ferry times but I think you'd have 6 hours or so to explore St.Pierre
@@MustDoCanada so do you recommend this at a cost of €248 for a family of four? Spoke to another person I know who went and said it was quite boring with not much to do...
@@ohmenervesphotography That's just for the ferry? It's tough to say. There's not a lot there, no. An old fishing village, couple museums, and some hiking on the other island of miquelon. I think it's more if you just want to see and experience this unique French island. But for sheer activities and what not, Newfoundland certainly has more
You can go on Quebec too
Curious if you can get your car in the ferry?
I don't think so. I think it's technically possible because locals need to bring them over, but from what I understand, you need to rent once there. It's very small though
@must do canada
I've known about these islands since i was a high schooler here in the usa during the late 80s. Ive always searched out obscure places like this out of curiosity. Sadly never been able to get there it looks beautiful. With french culture.
So the girl in your video as co host..is she portugese? Why is she in canada just curious. Thanks
I have a question, can a resident of the European Union apply for a visa to sint Pierre thank
I'm not sure. It's technically France, so I would think maybe similar rules? I doubt you'd need a visa
@@MustDoCanada its EU
Beautiful video
I'm here after knowing there is only 1 case of corona which recovered .
Love from india
Total population is 5794
How do border customs know you are a Canadian citizen or not, if you just show your official ID like provincial driver license?
Good point. I'm not sure. Maybe they require a passport now
From Newfoundland, live in Alberta now but wish I'd been there
مرحبا كيف استطيع الذهاب الى سان بيير ميكلون
Do they use canadians dollars ?
I don't think so but some places might due to close proximity. But mainly euros
Bozmargh they use euros, like any place in France
do we need passport to go there San Pierre island ? n come back ?
Canadians don't need one, but I believe everyone else does..
@@MustDoCanada Citizens from the EU don't need one.
Best time to visit is late summer or fall. Because of the N.Atlantic, July is usually foggy. Go in August or Sept. It's worth going during the warmer sunnier months and to see such a unique place.
Yes, may was wet! haha
Hi dear I have qeustion? If I have a visa France I can come to (st pierre and Miquelon)Thanks
We're not 100% sure but I would think so. You'd likely have to come to Canada first, although I do think there are flights from Paris
awesome
Why Saint Pierre and Miquelon is French is for the same reason why Montreal and Quebec are French. Empire!
montreal and quebec are French ? that's news to me.
Your bgm is awesome for the video
What's bgm?

haha that's awesome
Labeling St. Pierre et Miquelon the France of the America's is not correct because there are many Fances of the Americas (see Fr. Guyana, Guadeloupe etc.)
Good point. It's hard to sum it up and unfortunately, so many people think North America is Canada/USA, which is totally untrue
🇲🇶 martinque And
St Pierre and miqulion🇵🇲
1 case of covid :(.
And one recover
Rab x32 :)
I live there :D
nevoy u should, it’s a very nice island and btw there is no more case of the virus
🇵🇲🇵🇲🇵🇲🇵🇲🇵🇲
What about the visa.
Check this website: www.spm-tourisme.fr/1/practical/before-your-stay/
It's so sad to hear that you guys couldn't explore the islands as much as you wish.
If I'm rich i will go there because it's my dream to go there on Saint Pierre Miquelon
why rich?
De donde es ella...????
Soy de Mexico.
@@MustDoCanada ya me parecía familiar tu acento, je...
Saludos niña.
Muy buenos videos... 😎👍
Sigan así....!!!
And French guiana cries to see it
Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Barthelemy and Saint Martin as well
I'm surprised they don't speak English because Saint Pierre is surrounded by Canada. Yet there's not much of a French looking building on the Island. New Orleans, which the French left since 1762, even has more traces of the French.
@@MustDoCanada I was in Montreal. Most people I encountered seem to speak at least some English.
My observation is that most of the French overseas territories are either very poor or have very few traces of French influence other than the language. Unlike many of the previous or even current British overseas territories maintain strong British customs and influence.
Good
Country total population is 5794
Not a country, a department, the whole country counts 67millions souls.
Since they belong to France, the two of `em are the westernmost outposts of the EU as well.
I'm Canadian and just learned that basically france owns a city inside of Canada. Quite fascinating
France doesn't own a city inside Canada.
Rather, two islands (in the ocean) off the East Coast of Newfoundland are a part of France.
Technically speaking, France gave Canada the grounds on which the Vimy Monument stands, as a means of thanking the Canadian soldiers who helped free Vimy Ridge during WW1... so i guess Canada owns some land in France too!
Can you believe that this island has only one Covid19 case?
It seems as if she were an hispanic accent... si es así, xfa, un canal en español!
haha too hard to make two channels
this island is a nutshell 😂😂😂
I'm from jj mccolough

I m from Malaysia and find out about this country because it has the lowest covid cases in the world.

As far as we know, they mainly landed on the norther part of Newfoundland: See our video called Viking Trail
