There is a group of islands just south of Newfoundland. They are French territory and are called St Pierre and Miquelon. Their closest American neighbor is the State of Maine.

i think there are a couple of islands in the Atlantic to the east of Nova Scotia that are still French. These might be closer than the remaining French possessions in the Caribbean
