Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

I only took a picture of this because it refers to the islands next to Newfoundland in Canada not far from where I live.

The French Merchants of Saint-Malo settled in Saint-Pierre in the late XVIIth century and established a very large curing and salting operation for codfish. The tribulations of war between France and Britain would put an end to the French colonies in Placentia Newfoundland and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon and The treaty of Utrecht of 1713 forced Saint-Pierre’s inhabitants into exile in Isle Royale (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia).

The treaty of 1763 returned the islands of Saint-Pierre & Miquelon back to France, and despite the subsequent deportations of 1778 and 1793, the islands were once again returned to France in 1816.
