Langlade & Anse du Gouvernement

Langlade · Anse du Gouvernement

The most lush island in the archipelago, where the beaches of Anse du Gouvernement and forested river valleys make a popular summer retreat for locals, ideal for hiking and picnics.

Langlade Island is almost uninhabited year-round, yet in summer it becomes a holiday destination for residents of Saint-Pierre, with colorful holiday cottages scattered around Anse du Gouvernement. It has the archipelago’s longest beach, stream valleys, and rare coniferous forest. You can hike to sea-cliff viewpoints and watch seals at the river mouths. On weekends in July and August, ferries run directly from Saint-Pierre, a crossing of about one hour. The island has no shops, so bring plenty of food and water.
