'''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''.
