Formerly called Île aux Chiens, this small island is a witness to the history of fishing in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.
Today, Ile aux Marins comes alive in summer. During the summer, it opens the doors of its former school now converted into a museum and its church. A tour filled with anecdotes and history allows visitors to understand the living conditions of the residents in the past. Guided tours are even offered.
