Francois

Francois (generally pronounced "Franceway", sometimes written François) is a small coastal village in Southern Newfoundland, accessible by ferry.

Get in

Access to Francois is only by passenger ferry coming from the east or the west, on a limited schedule.

It also may be possible to solicit a ride from a local fisherman headed that way.

Get around

There are no car roads in Francois, only narrow paved walked ways which are also used by 4-wheelers.

gollark: Yes, of course it is.
