Île Saint-Jean in the context of Île-Royale (New France)

Île-Royale (French pronunciation: [il ʁwajal], lit. 'Royal Island') was a French colony in North America that existed from 1713 to 1763 as part of the wider colony of Acadia.

It consisted of two main islands, Île Royale (present-day Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia), Île Saint-Jean (present-day Prince Edward Island) and the Magdalen Islands archipelago. It was ceded to the British Empire after the Seven Years' War, and is today part of Canada.
