This very much captures one of the moods of St. Pierre. Strange and beautiful isolation.

It's "île aux Marins" or translated from French to English, "Sailor's Island". There was a community of fishermen who lived on the island and rowed out to the fishing grounds each day. After the advent of motorized boats it was abandoned until it was rebuilt as a historical site by the local government.
