Saint-Pierre et Miquelon and the Basque Country

Links between the Basque Country and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon have always been strong and go back many centuries up to the era of European exploration of North America. Basque folklore and sports are still very much alive, however the Basque language unfortunatly dissapeared from the islands earlier this century.
