The city
Seat of the French collectivity of Saint‑Pierre and Miquelon, Saint‑Pierre is a town of colorful wooden houses around the harbour. In the centre are the cathedral, the Zazpiak Bat Basque fronton and the museums L'Arche and Héritage; at the harbour entrance are the Pointe aux Canons lighthouse and the huts of Les Salines. Boats go to Île aux Marins, an abandoned fishing village, and a trail reaches Anse à Henry, an archaeological site facing the Grand Colombier.

The local experience
Small island in front of the harbor of Saint-Pierre that was a fishing village until the 1960s. The church Notre-Dame-des-Marins, the old school with the Archipélitude museum, restored houses, the red lighthouse and the hull of the Transpacific can be visited on foot.
Private collection in a 19th-century green mansion in the center of Saint-Pierre, with objects from medicine, school, religion, fishing and the era of Prohibition in the islands.
The main Catholic church of the archipelago, in the center of Saint-Pierre, rebuilt between 1905 and 1907 after the 1902 fire, with a Basque-style interior and wooden galleries. Historic monument.
A pelota court from 1906, in the north of central Saint-Pierre, with the inscription Zazpiak Bat on the wall. It is the stage for the Basque festival in August and recalls the Basque origin of many island families.
