Saint-Pierre & Miquelon Tourism in the News

What the travel experts have to say

From the moment you step on this tiny piece of French turf you'll have a sense of being magically transported to Europe.
- Catherine George, Toronto Star

On the charming islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, residents feel a closer affinity with European French issues than they do with Quebec... - Foster Smith, National Post

Only Maurice Chevalier seemed to be missing on this Bastille Day in
this last forgotten speck of a French imperial holding
that once stretched from here to New Orleans.

- Clifford Krauss, New York Times. (Link)

The traveler for whom the glass is half empty would report that the French islands turned out to be neither glamorous, cosmopolitan nor exciting. I take another tack: They are better than that, being genuine, rather vulnerable and larded with history. An odd compound of Canadian fishing town and France, St.-Pierre and Miquelon are finally like nothing but themselves. - KATHERINE ASHENBURG, New York Times.

Today, St. Pierre is a sleepy town of crooked streets, most of them minus street signs, and tiny wine, chocolate, perfume and lace shops, many of them hidden anonymously among the pastel houses. - JAY STONE, The Gazette
