Saint-Pierre & Miquelon (4 days)
Come with us to France for the weekend! A short flight brings you to the charming French islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. For over 200 years, these islands have remained part of France and continue the European way of life today. Discover a unique culture with a rich and passionate history. View scenery of a thousand colours, where it feels good to live and relax in the fresh air. The hospitality of the locals allows for unforgettable moments of sharing and conviviality with one “bonjour”, a smile or an unexpected conversation on a street corner.
Learn about the mystery of Saint-Pierre and its role in the prohibition era as the island played host to colourful characters such as Al Capone. Watch for puffins during your cruise to Miquelon, visit Sailor’s Island and explore the boutiques of Saint-Pierre. No trip to France is complete without sampling such delicacies as chocolate, pastries, cheese, and, of course, wine! All dinners and continental breakfasts are included for your convenience.
