Where France is always cold

Whenever French TV shows the weather forecast for Saint Pierre et Miquelon I’m glad I don’t live there. It may be pretty, but it’s never warm in that part of France.
The Territorial Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a group of small islands in the North Atlantic Ocean 25 km 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 climate is very damp and windy and winters are harsh and long. The spring and early summer are foggy and cool. Late summer and early fall are sunny.

Yes - we promise we shall never have a heat wave.
If you try mid-July to September, we can work out some good weather for you! If you love history, prohibition, want to see a guillotine, love birding, seals, dolphins and a quaint town with no Mc Donald’s, this is the place to go.
