Excursion Saint-pierre highlights tour at Saint Pierre

Discover the highlights of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon during a scenic and relaxing sightseeing drive through this historic island.

Saint-Pierre, Scenic Drive

Depart the pier with your guide for a scenic and narrated sightseeing drive through the island of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, a tiny slice of French territory located in mid-Atlantic Canada. Saint-Pierre was first settled by the French fishing fleet in the 1500s, yet, for some reason, never claimed by the British during their colonial conquest of North America. Saint-Pierre is the host to the seat of colonial government and maintains its French heritage.
