The treaty resulted in France's loss of all its North American possessions east of the Mississippi (all of Canada was ceded to Britain) except what?

PS: Caribbean Islands don't count.

"France gave up New France and all of its claims to the territory east of the Mississippi River to Britain. Spain ceded Florida to the British, but later received New Orleans and French Louisiana from France; Manila and Cuba were restored to Spain. France retained Saint Pierre and Miquelon and recovered Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Lucia in exchange for Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Tobago going to the British. In India, the French lost out to the British, receiving back its "factories" (trading posts), but agreeing to support the British client governments, as well as returning Sumatra and agreeing not to base troops in Bengal. The British garrison on the Mediterranean island of Minorca was returned to her control, having been captured by the French at the outbreak of hostilities in Europe."

Paris Hilton was not included.

These two tiny islands off the coast of Newfounland named St-Pierre et Miquelon is the answer I was looking for. Thanks Sailracer. Thereafter they,ve been going on and off between France and England as a property.As of today, they are still a French property.
