Miquelon is an important part of the French overseas collective territory of St. Pierre et Miquelon, located about 25 kilometers south of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic Ocean. The largest of the islands in the archipelago, Miquelon is naturally connected to the neighboring island of Langrard by a sandbar and has a total area of approximately 205 square kilometers. It is characterized by a French culture and a fishing economy and has a population of approximately 600, with Miquelon Longrad as its capital.
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. The island's inhabitants are mostly descendants of French immigrants, and it retains its traditional Basque and Norman festivities. Historic sites include the 19th-century St. Peter's Church and the old lighthouse, and tourism is highlighted by birdwatching, hiking and cultural heritage experiences.
