Every year in August, the French islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon celebrate their Basque Festival. Remember that, despite being geographically located near Canada and Newfoundland, these islands are part of France and have a rich Basque history, thanks to Basques that went there to hunt whales and fish cod. This year, the local Basque Festival was August 9-15. And the cameras of the main French channel TF1 visited them, discovering the archipelago and its Basque heritage to the French public.
