Is it walkable, or would you need to taxi everywhere

I am not even sure why this hasn't become an issue as I'm sure these people are utilizing Canadian resources left and right. To be totally honest if I were Canada I'd be demanding billions a year from France for this or demanding they give up rights especially since they are doing commerce in euros.

There once was a summer French immersion course there, which I attended 42 years ago. The population was then almost double the current number and with more than 10,000 people, it qualified as a "department" of France with a representative in the French legislature. Young people and many businesses left with the decline of the cod fishery. Back then, all of the wine and liquor was subsidized, so the price for a glass of wine, a beer, or an aged armagnac was all 4 francs. The bakeries were awesome, and it looks like they still are. Virtually all of the cars were imported from France and people bombed around in them on the total of 12 kilometres of paved road. I walked everywhere that summer, including to the spectacular dunes on the far side and the fragrant hills above the town where we once roasted a whole lamb. Langlade had miles of deserted beach, herds of wild horses, seals, puffins, and much more wildlife. France tried to claim a 3-mile limit for fishing purposes and even encroached on that. I was sitting up on a hill one day and saw a Canadian Forces destroyer-class ship chase away a French fishing trawler. I'd love to go back there and see all the ways it has changed. One thing that has not changed is "la brume" -- the incredibly thick fog.

Nice video. l would like that you make also a video about the French Kerguelen islands. l am sure that you will like very much to travel down there. They seem to have the same cold climate.

Wish there were more sources of French-sounding music than what you had to use…😊
