A trip back in time to the remote coastal community: A Land & Sea archival special
Join reporter Paul Harrington in this episode from 1984.
Francois, a tiny community on the south coast of Newfoundland, is not an easy place to visit.
East of Burgeo, west of McCallum, the village is home to just a few dozen people now — and it was never a booming metropolis.
In 1984, reporter Paul Harrington hitched a ride for Land & Sea to the coastal community, which then as now welcomes visitors largely by boat.
