Miquelon-Langlade (French pronunciation: [miklɔ̃ lɑ̃ɡlad]) is the larger but less populated of the two communes (municipalities) making up the French overseas collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, located 22 km (14 mi) to the south of Newfoundland in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It consists of three islands: Miquelon (also called Grande Miquelon), Langlade (Petite Miquelon) and Le Cap, connected by narrow tombolos (sandy isthmi). The communal seat is the settlement of Miquelon, on the northern tip, where the entire island's permanent population of 596 (as of 2022) is located. Miquelon Airport provides flights to nearby Saint-Pierre Airport.
