Overseas Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, France 😚😊👏 Saint Pierre and Miquelon, officially the Overseas Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon (French: Collectivité d'Outre-mer de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon; French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.pjɛʁ.e.mi.klɔ̃]), is a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France, situated in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean near the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the only part of New France that remains under French control, with an area of 242 square kilometres (93 sq mi) and a population of 6,080 at the January 2011 census. Portuguese João Álvares Fagundes landed on the islands on 21 October 1520 and named the St. Pierre island group the 'Eleven Thousand Virgins', as the day marked the feast day of St. Ursula and her virgin companions. They were made a French possession in 1536 by Jacques Cartier on behalf of the King of France. Though already frequented by Mi'kmaq people and Basque and Breton fishermen, the islands were not permanently settled until the end of the 17th century: four permanent inhabitants were counted in 1670, and 22 in 1691. . . . . #france #SaintPierreandMiquelon #aerialphotograph #dronephoto #dronedaily #dronepics #dronespace #droneshot #passportexpress #thattravelblog #travelsolo #travelpassion #neverstoptravelling #travelbucketlist #worldtravelpics #instago #instagood #cooltravelpix #photooftheday #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelmoments #adventurethatislife #wondermore #earthoutdoors #backpackingover60 #travelphotographyoftheday #makememories #over60traveler (at Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHUeVVgitA/?igshid=1a1w4p5apd95b
