Just off Newfoundland’s southern shore,
lies St. Pierre and Miquelon
—a small French outpost
clinging to the edge of North America.
The distance between them is
barely a morning’s sail, 25 Kms;
yet it feels like crossing centuries:
from the salt-stained wharves of Fortune, NL,
to cobbled lanes in SPM, where café windows also bear witness to the same Atlantic Ocean.
NL & SPM has had centuries of intertwined history and despite the ocassional dispute,
the two maintain friendly connections
rooted in geography, history, and mutual dependence on the North Atlantic.
Travellers can get to St. Pierre via ferries or air travel. The island is enchanting, charming, picturesque and culturally vibrant.
