It is characterized by a French culture and a fishing economy and has a population of approximately 600, with Miquelon Longrad as its capital.
Geography and natural environment
Miquelon is hilly and forested, with a winding coastline, a unique tundra landscape and a cool-temperate climate. Wildlife such as puffins and seals can be found on the island, and the surrounding waters are rich in fishing grounds due to the convergence of warm and cold currents. The local economy is based on cod fishing and tourism, and it retains its traditional French chalet architecture and fishing culture.

As one of the last French territories in North America, Miquelon's official language is French and its currency is the Euro.
