The peculiarity of L’Arche museum is that it houses both the Archives and the museum of the Territorial Collectivity of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon.
L’Arche museum will take you back through time of pre-history up to the industrial fishing period.The local economy and architecture of the houses played a major role in giving us the info on how everyday life back then could turn into tragedy. The presence of the Guillotine (for example).For an even more enriching experience, a guided tour is available.
During summer a photography contest is proposed for the talented local photographers.The topic is imposed but the visitors are free to vote for their choice of preference.
For even more history and architectural heritage of the town , the museum proposes « let us tell you Saint-Pierre ». Four guided walking tours are available through narrow and colourful streets of the town with different themes.
For prehistoric and nature enthusiast’s , you can choose « On the trail of our pre-history » A guided tour to our acheological site » Anse à Henry »
