The last remnant of France’s once-vast holdings in North America, an island archipelago off the coast of Newfoundland bears the scars of a complicated geologic history. Altogether, the archipelago covers just 242 square kilometers (93 square miles), and the three biggest islands lend the entire island chain its name: Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
