The charm of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a French archipelago off the coast of Canada

x

St. Pierre & Miquelon's Best Hotel & Spa! (Les Terrassess du Port: Full Review) | France ????????

Located just off the coast of Canada, the small French overseas territory of St. Pierre & Miquelon is a remote, unassuming place - definitely not somewhere that you'd expect to find a sleek, modern, full-service hotel and spa like the excellent Terrasses du Port SPM. As the archipelago's only upscale hotel, this bright, roomy property features loads of amenities and luxurious experiences that will make you think you're on the Cote D'Azur instead of a windswept island on the east coast of North America.

In this video, I review Les Terrasses du Port to give you an honest account of what to expect if you visit the hotel on your next mini-break to this slice of France in North America. And at just a 45 minute flight or 90 minute ferry ride from Newfoundland, this is the perfect spot for a romantic spa getaway for Canadians looking for a quick visit to France without the added cost and time of actually crossing the Atlantic. You'll find that Les Terrasses du Port will simply blow your mind with their high level of customer service, their indulgent spa featuring sensory pools and an extensive treatment menu, their beyond-words restaurant featuring some of the best French cuisine this side of the Atlantic, and the excellent 5000 square foot L'Estuaire Social Club fitness center, which would put most large standalone gyms in North America to shame.

I had a perfect stay at this amazing hotel! Definitely give them top consideration on your next visit to this incredible French overseas territory. Book early, as there are only 14 rooms available here (all of which are amazing). Rates as of 2023 range from €167 - €347 per night. They also book conferences and weddings!

Double culture (English version)

Saint-Pierre et Miquelon is so far away from metropolitan France that one could think that the links between the two are frayed and ready to break.
On the other hand, the islands are so close to Canada you would think that life in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon is pretty much the same as in Newfoundland.

Officially, the island of Newfoundland is only 19 kilometers away. In fact it is even closer than that, since the closest Canadian piece of land, Green Island, is only a few nautical miles from Saint-Pierre.

Nonetheless, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon is French. Completely French, but with a strong regional influence thrown in!

The residents of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon have chosen the best from both worlds.

Saint Pierre, France by Canada - Two Minute Travel

We wandered the streets of Saint Pierre, first by heading to a pub for a drink. I’ve never spoken French before, so ordering a drink was fun and frightening. Next we headed to the restaurant recommended by the hotel. It was delicious, clearly designed for tourists with pizzas on the menu, but still, very nice lamb chops. Maybe go elsewhere for dessert. A little tipsy, we headed for the harbour. We also visited there again after a hill climb the following day before the boat right back.

Back in St. John’s, Newfoundland, we were staying at the Memorial University of Newfoundland dorm rooms, which were available on booking.com. They really weren’t so bad. The buffet breakfast they came with was the quality of dorm room buffet food. Not great. .

Dildo Newfoundland & Saint Pierre France - Two Minute Travel

We did a long drive across part of Newfoundland from St. John’s to Dildo, which was a pleasure. From Dildo we headed to Fortune for the ferry to Saint Pierre, an overseas collectivity of France. Then we did a Hotel review of the Auberge Saint Pierre, maybe the only three star hotel on the island. Felt more like someone’s home to me. .
