The city of Saint-Pierre developed around a cove protected by several islands. As early as the 16th century, this natural harbour attracted large fishing and trading vessels and most of the new arrivals.
Consider it a truly European experience: shops close every day between 12 and 2 p.m. (and most are closed on Sundays), restaurants begin serving dinner later than you’d expect, and folks line up outside the bakeries each morning to carry home fresh bread and pastries for the day.
