Once part of the French colony of Île-Royale, it may have been named for Françoise d'Aubigné, marquise de Maintenon.[1] After the fall of Louisbourg in 1758, 4,000 inhabitants were deported. However, a group of 10 Acadian families from Port Toulouse fled to this Isle Madame where their descendants still live today.
It is separated from Cape Breton Island by the Lennox Passage, but connected by a causeway. The island is also connected by bridge to Petit-de-Grat Island, and by causeway and bridge to Janvrin Island. Since 1994, the island has been served by a community television station, CIMC-TV, also known as Telile.
Isle Madame is home to approximately 4,300 residents located mostly in the island's communities of Arichat, D'Escousse, and Petit de Grat.

L’Isle Madame est une île canadienne située au large de la partie sud-est de l'Île du Cap-Breton en Nouvelle-Écosse. La région acadienne de l'Isle Madame est située sur la pointe sud-est de l'Île du Cap-Breton dont elle est séparée par le détroit de Canso. Malgré la dénomination « isle », il s’agit en fait d’un archipel qui comprend l'Isle Madame (de loin la plus grande avec 64 km2), l’île de Petit-de-Grat et l’île Janvrin. Sur le plan administratif, la région fait partie du comté de Richmond dont Arichat est la capitale.[it] Isola Madame
