Yes, that map is very famous in SPM yet it is very much incomplete as the hundreds of shipwrecks from the 1500s to 1816 are not all known, inventoried or located.

No passport required for Canadians. Proof of citizenship and ID are sufficient. No it's not "your" St Lawrence. The islands have been settled by French since the XVI century, and our immediate neighbour was a British Dominion until 1947.

Of course the term "ghost island" refers to the fact is is a ghost town on a small island, and not the ghost islands of antiques maps.

It's been a crazy 48 hrs in Saint-Pierre, lots of joking around about payback for Prohibition. Seems the White House has finally dropped all of France's Overseas territories from the final list. Someone finally clued in that ISO-3166 is not just countries, but associated territories.

No it isn't part of the EU, it's an associated territory, it has its own autonomous fiscal regime.

The treaty of 1763 forbids any fortification of the islands.

Tarifs à 50%. Le 99% c'est leur calcul bidon de la balance commerciale car on leur a vendu du poisson sans rien leur acheter ... Pourquoi, car on est à 12km du Canada, ça n'a aucun sens.
