'''Miquelon''' is an island and village in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.

Understand

Although it is much larger than Saint-Pierre, it is much less populated. The residents are primarily of Basque and Acadian heritage.

Geologically, Miquelon is ''three'' islands, connected by isthmuses formed from drifting sand:

  • '''Le Cap''' at the north, location of the village of Miquelon (pop. 600).
  • '''Miquelon''' proper (''Grande Miquelon''). The name comes from the Basque version of ''Michael'', which was the name of several fishermen who settled here.
  • '''Langlade''' (''Petite Miquelon''), which has no permanent inhabitants but is a popular vacation spot. The name is a corruption of the French ''l'ile a l'Anglais'' or ''Englishman's Island''.
