This traditional festival is dedicated to the lost sailors and fishermen, with a mass at the cathedral followed by a blessing of the fleet accompanied  by boats decorated of multicolored flags.

This race is a congenial event attended by runners and walkers alike.

Some do it to beat their performance,others only want to finish within the four-hour perdiod.It is also an opportunity for friends and families to get together for the week-end, take part in the event, and then enjoy the barbecue and special evening that follows the race.

This event is organized by the city of Saint-Pierre and it centres around a photographic exhibit or any other event or presentation related to the history of the city. On June 22nd, 1816, Saint-Pierre et Miquelon was returned to France one last time, by the second Treaty of Paris.
