St. Lunaire-Griquet is located about
twenty minutes from the town of St. Anthony on the Great Northern
Peninsula of Newfoundland, Canada. With a population of only about 1000,
St. Lunaire-Griquet is a quiet scenic community. It is only a few
kilometres away from the
Viking National Historic Park located at L'anse aux Meadows.
As a result our town receives many visitors during the summer months. The
tourism industry has become very important to the town since the collapse of the cod fishery
in 1992. The town of St. Lunaire-Griquet was at first two separate towns,
St. Lunaire and Griquet, but in the 1950's they were amalgamated as one
and both names were kept.
