A Real Slice of France in North America

Before you read another word, know that I'm not referring to Canada. In fact, while this slice of France is adjacent to Canada, it is indeed part of France.

This morning I spotted an article from Lonely Planet in the Houston Chronicle on the tiny islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon... two islands off of the coast of Newfoundland that are self-governing territories of France. Who knew?

Has anyone ever had any experience with Saint-Pierre et Miquelon? Apparently one world record-setting couple has stopped by.
