St. Pierre & Miquelon- Part 1 How I DROVE from MAINE to FRANCE!
Published 2024-02-02
If you need lots of entertainment and group activities, this trip my not be for you. I had perfect weather the whole time, which is unusual unusual for S&P. if it had rained every day, the trip might not have seemed as magical as itt did for me. And there aren't many indoor "tourist" type activities in Newfoundland or S&P.
But for my travel tastes it was perfect. Just seeing what the heck life is like for people living there.
When I discovered that there was a small French island territory called St. Pierre & Miquelon up off the coast Newfoundland, Canada, I was instantly intrigued!
I looked carefully at a map of North America, and it looked like I could conceivably drive my old Honda pickup truck there, with the help of a ferry or two.
Here are some things to know.
* You need to reserve ferry space for a vehicle at least 24 hours ahead. And there is generally only 1 ferry per day.
* The Sidney ferry costs around $50 Canadian, per person, and $175 per small vehicle. A private cabin is around $175 additional.
* The St. Pierre ferries dont have cabins. its just an hour and a hal trip.
* Vehicle space on these ferries are very limited. There are only a few cars on St. Pierre. Depending on your circumstances you really dont need it. There are a couple of taxis.
