Meet the municipalities

Gros-Morne🏛️ (155,692) This rural city offers a beautiful view and atmosphere, thanks to its green mountains and geographical zone. The mountains covered in fog makes for breathtaking scenery and the area indeed offers an ecosystem very conducive to the development of mango production. This commune alone produces about 40% of the nation's mangoes and is famous for its production of the "Madame Francis" mango. Most of the residents work as farmers and they mainly produce cassavas, cotton, and coffee. The local economy relies on the mango francisque, on market gardening, as well as on the production of tafia, logwood, and livestock.

Anse-Rouge (43.395) This desert town is surrounded by salt marshes. The dusty, mountainous and cactus-filled landscape with the occasional lonely hut, makes a trip to the beach a stark contrast. The use of donkeys as a mode of transportation is very common here. The local economy is largely based on salt production.

Terre-Neuve (31,252) This small town has its own mountain range, Montagnes de Terre-Neuve, a subregion of the Northwest Peninsula. It is also a very mineralized area. There are signs of gold, iron, and copper deposits, bauxite, and limestone, which can be turned into marble. The local economy is based on agriculture (mainly cotton and tobacco) and commerce.
