Miquelon-Langlade

Miquelon-Langlade occupies a wind-exposed Atlantic island setting in the French collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, just south of Newfoundland. The commune spans Miquelon and Langlade, islands linked by a long sandy isthmus; dunes, peatland and low coastal terrain give this part of the archipelago an open, maritime character. The Grand Barachois lagoon lies beside the isthmus, while the surrounding sea has long shaped local life and fishing traditions. French is the official language, yet the islands’ position close to Canada gives the area a distinct North Atlantic context. As France’s only territorial collectivity in North America, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon has a character unlike anywhere else in the country.
