SaintPierre

Saint-Pierre (French for Saint Peter) is a toponym used in several French-speaking territories. The name honors the Christian saint and is commonly given to coastal towns and seats of local government.

Saint-Pierre, Réunion, is a coastal commune on the southwest coast of the Indian Ocean island of Réunion, an overseas department of France. It functions as a local administrative and commercial center and has a harbor that serves trade and fishing.

Saint-Pierre, Martinique, is a town on the island of Martinique, an overseas department of France in the Caribbean. It has a long port tradition and a history tied to the island’s sugar and fishing economy. In 1902, Mont Pelée erupted and destroyed the town, a disaster that marked Martinique's history and is remembered in museums and monuments.

Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, is the capital city of the French territorial collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, an archipelago near the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The town is the main administrative and economic center, with a harbor and local services supporting the small resident population and a seasonal fishing industry.

The toponym is also used in other locales and institutions within Francophone regions, reflecting the common practice of naming places after saints in European and former colonial contexts.
