These are two small islands off the east coast of Canada which still belong to France

I realize, of course, that Newfoundland is part of Canada, but to give your mental maps a hand you may want to know that St. Pierre and Miquelon are more accurately described as being off the coast of Newfoundland. You can get to St. Pierre and Miquelon from here, and we passed them on the ferry on the way to the island when we came last fall. And the French department at my university apparently has some program where you go there and spend a term, to get a feel for France, I guess.
