.pm Saint Pierre Country Information

The Territorial Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon (French: Collectivitéterritoriale de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) is a group of small islands in the North Atlantic Ocean — the main ones being Saint Pierre and Miquelon 25 kilometres (13 nmi) off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The islands are part of France and the European Union but due to special immigration procedures, EU nationals who are not French citizens are not allowed to exercise free movement and business establishment in the archipelago.

The archipelago is the only remnant of the former colonial territory of New France that remains under French control.

The island of Saint-Pierre is surrounded by smaller dependencies, which include the island of Grand Colombier, Petit Colombier, Île aux Marins (formally known as Île aux Chiens), Île aux Pigeons and Île aux Vainqueurs. The total area of the islands is 242 km² (93.4 sq mi). They have a coastline which is 120 km (75 miles) long.

The island of Miquelon is roughly 25 km (16 mi) from the main coast of Newfoundland at their closest points. However, there is a small Canadian island with a lighthouse (Green Island), belonging to Newfoundland, that is halfway between Langlade and Newfoundland at 46°52?44?N 56°05?21?W? / ?46.87889, -56.08917, and is about 10 kilometers (6 mi) from both Langlade and St. Pierre.
