- Äas pĆidĂĄn 1. 07. 2024
- It seems a little crazy that i've actually filmed this video and it's out! It's real! Leaving France after 12+ years feels so incredibly weird! I'm not sure i have even processed it yet!!
I go over why I was pretty radio silent for the last 6 weeks. It wasn't just the move, though that was was A LOT to manage. But also where we landed for the next couple of years and of course, what's going to happen to Unintentionally Frenchified!
Should i keep doing content, keep the channel going? Pivot? Slow down? Can't wait to hear what you all think! xx

Iâm proud to say all thanks to Mr. Tom Lawson I donât care about the economic structure and situation of anywhere I decide to live.
He is a financial analyst, investment expert, cryptocurrency trader and lots more, through his help and level of expertise in the online financial market I have been earning constantly and effortlessly.
Skepticism is like a cancer to success, the exact words of Tom Lawson, I used to feel just like you but just a week of doing business with Tom Lawson my mentality changed drastically, mainly due to profit I accumulated over a period of just one week.
Permit me to interrupt, He is so knowledgeable in trading, and he also has outstanding communication skills, Iâm sure heâll be enthusiastic to talk to new clients.

About your channel: I think I speak for a lot of your subscribers when I say we are here for you. Keep making videos on your journey as an expat and whatever inspires you in the moment! We are invested. Congrats on your new adventure! â€
Love that this opens up a new area of content to compare the French way of life with the French-Canadian way of life and both back to life in the states. Very exciting, canât wait to learn about another fabulous city & itâs culture thru your lens. Congrats!
I'm so happy that your health is better, and that your family is well! Thank you for sharing with us. I would love for you to continue sharing your viewpoint and cultural experiences. Thank you so much for taking your time to expand our minds. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
Great to have you back online & glad youâre all settled in your new home! đ looking forward to following your Canadian adventures xx
Welcome to Canada! Can't wait to hear/ see all about your new adventure in Montreal!
Keep it going! It will always be fascinating to see new informations!
So glad to hear that your are doing better health wise. Enjoy Canada and this time with your family. I would love to continue to see content from you, but in the end it has to be what is right for you and your family. Hope you have a wonderful 2023! Bisous !
How exciting!!! Wishing you all the best for your new life in MontrĂ©al đ glad to hear you're doing well! Can't wait for Canadian-US-French differences content â€ïž thanks for this update! đ
I am so interested in your perspective on french- Canada. I can't wait to hear about the differences and follow along on your journey!
I want to see all of those videos! So excited!
Congratulations on the move !
Thank you!
Thank God you are okay. Sorry you had to go through all of that. Wow! Enjoy Montreal and please continue doing videos. I canât wait to go to Montreal. â€
Congrats on the move! We (me American, husband Belgian) moved from the Brussels area to Quebec City 14 months ago. After 10 years in BXL it was a huge change. The accent and vocabulary, the education system, the (inaccessible) health care system are all so different, plus new jobs and trying to make new friends after so long, but we are feeling much more settled now. I definitely could relate to all your videos about adjusting to life in francophone Europe and will definitely appreciate the same about your experiences in Québec. Québec City and the Charlevoix region are definitely worth a trip! All the best to you and your family for this experience.
As a French person, I don't meet people from Québec often so I would love to hear about the differences !
Very exciting! Yes keep the content coming! â€
Very glad for you and your family. Take care and enjoy this adventurous chapter you are making together!
Thank you!
Congratulations on your move Kate! And please do continue to create content. Have always been fascinated with french-Canada and would love to experience that through your lens â€
Thanks Jannat!
Omg!!! So interesting!! I would love for you to keep up with the videos whenever you can, of course! Looking forward to this new experience for you and your family!
Thank you!!! x
Glad you are well and I look forward to seeing and hearing al about your adventures in Montreal!
Thanks so much!
Bienvenue au Canada!!! đšđŠ Iâm a Canadian living in Ontario but Quebec holds a special place in my heart as I spent every summer in university there learning French. Iâm so excited to see new content about your life in Montreal! Enjoy your stay; thereâs lots to see and do! Down the road, you can check out Quebec City and Ottawa as well. Bonne annĂ©e!
How exciting-- I've always thought Montreal looks like a cool city though have never been. Have loved watching your videos as I plan a move to France later this year, but absolutely interested in watching your comparisons, culture shocks, and first impressions of Montreal too. Glad you've recovered from your health scare-- those are never fun!
Iâm here to watch your next adventure!
So sorry to hear about the health problems, but so glad you got it taken care of! Congratulations to you on your new role in Montreal! Montreal - that would be a dream! Enjoy it. I would love to be able to see your adventures in Montreal, but I and Iâm sure the rest of your fans understand if you want take some time off from CZcams or even end the channel all together. Do whatever feels right for you!
Such a kind response! I hope it goes well in Montreal! For now, it still feels really right to continue making content, so i guess we'll see how it goes!
Congratulations!! Good luck with this huge move. I just moved to upstate NY not too far from Montreal, I would love for you to continue the channel with all your new experiences.
Super contente pour vous tous! As an American (ATL) who is a French-speaking and has been to France multiple times, but never MontrĂ©al, I'd love to see your videos about MontrĂ©al! Keep it going, that's my vote! đđ FĂ©licitatations!
Congrats on your move! The Botanic Gardens remains a family favorite as well as Place Jacques-Cartier to people watch. (When my daughter was young she loved to count the brides getting their wedding photos done. I think the record was 11 in an hour.) Check out the free museum days. It's a great way to see a lot and decide where to return. I'd also learn the underground routes fast to avoid freezing. My favorite time is spring when the city starts to warm up and people are joyous to be outside. The number of flowers on every balcony, cafe, etc. is beautiful.
Just found your channel. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos and content. I hope you will be back making videos when you are back in France. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Gggggrrroooovvvvyyy! Looking forward to seeing Montreal through your eyes (food, shifts in language/slang, work team and all that means, daughter's school and the food served, etc.). Happy for you!
Great đ very excited for you, guys! Enjoy it to the fullest! And perfect you could take care of your health before. Stay safe!
Congrats on the move! My parents are great travelers, and I enjoyed taking a trip with them to Montreal a while back. My mom & I both speak French (weâre American) and we both enjoyed speaking French while visiting Montreal. Quebec City was so memorable, although when we were there it was so so cold⊠In Montreal, I recommend that you visit the Cirque du Soleil headquarters. We were so lucky when we visited - it was on the one day out of the year that they offer tours of the Cirque du Soleil HQ. It was such an inspiring & fascinating place - hope you can check it out while youâre there! I enjoy your channel as we have the French American connection & Iâm also an expat - Iâm married to a Kiwi and we live in NZ now, so yes, I understand about all the work it takes moving to a new country! Take good care & enjoy Canada!
I am sure you will love it there! It will be a great adventure! I related a lot to your channel before but I will relate to it even more now! So excited to get new content from you with this new perspective.
As a french woman I first lived 6 years in Quebec before moving to Vancouver. I am super curious to ear about your experience in Montreal and hope you get to learn the Quebecois language (it's quite a different french but as lovely as my mother-tong)! And especially meet people from Quebec! Newcomers from France usually tend to keep to themselves on the Plateau which is a shame...
Itâs good to hear that you are in good health now.
I am from Paris, France, moved to the US in MN when I met my husband. My sister went to study in Montreal, Canada and stayed for work. And she loves Montreal. When she first got there she told me âthey are all very friendly, just like CĂ©line Dionâ (as you know sometimes the French have the reputation of being âgrincheuxâ) and Celine Dion always seems ĂŒberhappy and friendly to the French.
Enjoy your new life up there and I canât wait to see how you like the dual culture.
Iâm French living in MN too!!
Al, I am sorry but you mean Parisians have the reputation of being "grincheux". Because most tourists stay in Paris or around, there is an unfortunate generalization.
Great adventure!. I am very fond of your stories wherever you are in the World.
Any content is good for me. You are good at communicating.
Welcome to Canada! Alas, I live at the other side and have only been to the Montreal airport.... but everyone says it's the most exciting, cosmopolitan city in Canada. I really hope you enjoy your time, as well as the culture, history, food and fashion! PS I would love for you to keep going - despite being Canadian as you may have surmised from the previous sentences I don't have any first-hand knowledge of Montreal. I'd be fascinated to learn more about how you experience the different cultures, e.g, Anglo-French, the very different legal system, history etc that makes Quebec so different from other places in NA.
Congrats đ Seems like a wonderful adventure ! Itâs an amazing opportunity to be able to live in different countries. Enjoy your time in Montreal. I am sure it will be a great experience for Alienor too âșïž
Thank you! we are so excited for the opportunity to discover another country!
I look forward to watching your content from Montreal. I'd be interested in the differences and similarities between Montreal and Paris. I'd also like to see places that you explore as you get to know your new city. I have to say, I watch your channel because I enjoy your upbeat and fun personality more than anything so I'll continue to follow you just to see what you're up to a d what you think about it all!
Thanks Fran, that it so kind! I don't think i'll lose my personality over here in Montreal, so bring on the Canada content!
Bonjour Kate!
I canât believe you are living in my home town Montreal. How amazing!! I was just watching you in France and then Bam, youâre here. How crazy! My sister and I have been watching your channel because we think you are awesome and hilarious and because we are obsessed with everything French , living vicariously through your stories. We want to welcome you to Montreal with open arms. Hope you enjoy it here and that youâre not too disappointed with our cheese and weather đ.
If you ever have a meet and greet, would love to join!
Congratulations on the BIG MOVE !!! That's so exciting, I"m happy for you but bummed it will be harder to make future collab videos ^^. Hopefully we will be able to make another catch up type video about differences between Canada and France once you're settled in!
Glad you are feeling better. I would love to see Montreal through your channel. I was scheduled to go there for a conference in 2019, but COVID hit. I really enjoyed Toronto, but the Montreal scene would be great to see in preparation for a visit.
Excited to see u to our content from Montreal!
I think your content will be even more interesting! Your cultural insights are so interesting, and think how much experience you have now!
Cannot wait for your next content đ„°
Very exciting, Iâm hoping to move from Ireland to Montreal this year. Iâve my visa so just job hunting now. Iâm excited to see how you find it
I have been watching your videos since you first started the channel, keep up the good work! Maybe you could make a video about the differences between the French and the French-Canadian mindset or the differences between the food.
It's even better to hear that you moved to Canada! I live in Canada myself, I hope you and your family will love it heređ
I love Montreal! Itâs one of my favorite cities and my daughter goes to college there. I hope you continue the channel!
Subscriber from Montréal here. All the best on your move. I am sure you will love it
It would be fun to see Montreal. Please continue the channel!
Firstly, very happy to hear you are healthy.
CANADA đšđŠ I am a Canadian living in Montpellier FR who is from Toronto but loves Montreal. I am sure you will feel at home as Canada even Montreal has a lot of cultural similarities to the US.
Now you can tell us about all your cultural shocks of moving to French Canada. Lol
Wish you all the best â€
Thank you! I've already seen so many similarties with the US and also a lot with France and then habits and things that are just completely Canadian for me. It's really fun!
Funny on my end I moved the other way around from Montpellier to Canada last summer! Hope you love it there if you need any recommendation, do not hesitateđ
@@fannyb9824 thank you :)
I have lived here for 2yr and I love it. Still struggling with my French⊠The city is perfect size with everything you want to do at its finger tips. Coming from Toronto where everything is huge and spread out. This is a great change. I live by la gare so itâs walking distance to everything. Plus the winters for me are not really winter. Lol.
@@heatherheaney4060 you mean Toronto is mostly highways , no sense of community and Toronto includes cities as far as 100 km away like Niagara region which makes no sense ...
Montreal is built for humans , with green public spaces, streets f for pedestrians , the canadian capital of culture , 400 tears of history , best food and way better quality of life then Toronto .
@@jeanbolduc5818 actually Toronto has a sense of community. There are communities inside the city. I lived in the Junction which would be considered downtown now a days. But for me as I lived there from the age of 3-39 it was not. It was just on the cusp of down town. But it was in its self a little community.
How exciting. Many of my 1st cousins from Paris moved to Montreal decades ago. I love the place but winters are hard. Congrats on your move. .
It is even more unique to have a three way comparison of cultures. US vs CA (Montréal) vs FR (Paris). If you ask me, things have just gotten more interesting. :>
Wow! Congratulations on your move! My husband and I spent a month in Montreal and five in Quebec during the winter/spring. I cried when I saw the first budding leaves on the trees (it was so cold!) We were there back in 2010, so any info I have would be obsolete, unfortunately. We live in Montpellier, France, now. I think you should continue your channel, if you can- "Unintentionally Frenchified" is still valid for French Canada living :) I would love to see more content, especially comparisons between the language and lifestyle.
Findland is the happiest country on earth and colder than Quebec and 2 months of darkness. We dont live in the north pole . It gets 35 c in the summer ... Tired of negative people . Thanks for moving back to France you will be happy there since they always complaint.
Totally hope you do Montreal content!
Congratulations on your move. Montreal is on my list!!!!
Yes please to the comparison content!
I lived in Villeray, MTL for a few months. Outside of the amazing parks (all of them), I highly recommend MarchĂ© Jean Talon, OASIS immersion and the botanical garden. OASIS had a Van Gogh immersion (maybe itâs still going on) and it was fantastic and very child friendly! My baby loved it. Same with the botanical gardens- I went both during the day and at night for a special light show. Itâs incredible and worth the trip. Itâs a beautiful city, enjoy âșïž
Welcome to Canada! đšđŠ I'm in Toronto but Montreal is always a quick train/plane ride away for us. You will have the BEST time! đ
Beautiful Montreal ! A toast đ„ to you. Our daughter loves the summer music festivals in Montreal ( Osheaga )
Paused video and thinking the UK..... 2 seconds later... Welcome to Canada! My husband's family is from Montreal and we make trips out there a few times a year (we're a 4 hr drive)! So exciting to have you over here. Extremely happy to hear your health is better and that you're back, you were missed. I can't wait to see your first reactions video. I am going to laugh so hard, I can see it already. You're going to have a very interesting time maneuvering Quebecer French vs Parisian French. I am currently taking French classes and the teacher is insisting we learn Quebecois French since we live in this country. She from, time to time, will give us the Parisian version of words or phrases and make sure we know that you would not say it this way in Quebec, but if you travel to France this is how you must speak. I hope you find your new home warm and friendly here in Canada, the food, the culture the scenery of Quebec is a beauty all its own and I know you will have an amazing time here. I absolutely enjoy and appreciate your channel, happy to see you back and on a new adventure.
Congrats on making it to Canada, and healthy again. I lived across the border in Burlington, Vt. for several years, which is a great place about 90 min. away to visit, not just near the mts. but in the summer. The Lake Champlain islands are wonderful. In Montreal I can recommend "Bienvenue" as a BnB for any visitors that come to see you.
All the best with the move to Montreal! Cant wait to see the new content! How many Annual Vacation days in Canada?
I have 25 year! It's great, but quite a bit less than i had in France ;)
Please continue I would love to follow your new adventure in Montreal. I am a French girl who studied in Boston nearly 20 years ago and I used to go to Montreal to get my shot of FrenchifiedâŠ
Plus we share a daughter with the same name (English spelling!) so if you do videos on cultural differences and education subjects I really like that!
Enjoy! Too bad it's only for two years. Will look forward to your Canadian videos.
Moving to Montreal sounds quite interesting. It would be fun to hear about the movingprocess and how to âgo abroadâ with family.
How wonderful! What a fantastic hybrid location - Montreal! Plus Canada has a public sector health system too :)
Congratulations! I am french and living in Mtl for 3 years now, this city is anazing I hope you and your family will enjoy it !!
My favorite restaurants are : Momo Sushi, India Rosa, Stella Pizza, but you woll find a lot a amazing restaurants here :)
In term of activities in winter you can go ice skating in Parc Lafontaine, Parc Jean Drapeau on the island in front of Mtl is really nice as well with a beautiful view on the city, of course going on the top of Mont Royal too.
Taking a walk in le Plateau, Outremont, petite Italie, around the Marché Jean Talon ⊠the best neigberhood to live in my opinion !
Enjoy Mtl :)
Thank you! and thanks for the tips! We are going ice skating this weekend with our daughter so this is perfect :)
Congratulations! Very exciting.
Thank you!
Happy to hear you are healthy and congratulations on the move and new job in Montreal! I live in Ottawa so I visit Montreal often đ Here are some recommends for food/restaurants: Elena for pizza, St-Viateur for bagels, Crew Collective for coffee/brunch, Beatrice for dinner, Momo for vegan sushi, Mandy's for salad.
For things to do, check out Old Montreal, Mont Royal, Botanical Gardens, Atwater market, St Catherine's, Saint Joseph's etc
Thank you for the tips! Super helpful. We checked out atwater market this weekend, we had a croissant recommendation that my husband really wanted to explore!
OOh that's awesome!! The biodome and insectarium would be great to check out, especially with Eleanor! There's also going up mount royal and skating on beaver lake. There's the fine arts museum and old montreal/old port :)
So exciting! I love this idea! I bet it will be fun for your husband to have a similar experience to your French experience :) If you plan to go back to France, did you sell your home?
FĂ©licitations! My wife and I love Quebec and were just in Quebec City for our 42nd anniversary. We plan to explore Montreal next, now that the Covid restrictions have been lifted. It's a relatively easy drive from our home in Buffalo. I'll be curious to see how you navigate the language peculiarities and to learn more about your family's new life in the beautiful North (as well as getting tips on visiting the region).
Congrats on the new adventure! Iâd love to see things about your place, the difference between the French there and Paris? Iâm smiling a bit about the two year comment. That was our plan when we moved to France in 2017 and we are still here! Also, glad you are on the road to recovery. Take care!
I love MontrealâŠsuch a great city. There is so much you can explore thereâŠthe food, architecture, people, history, schools, language,difference from France, Quebec City etc. Glad your health problems are better and I look forward to your videos from Canada! What an adventure!
I completely agree! Everyone says, "just wait, you'll never leave!" Maybe i'll be surprised :)
thank you! I am so excited about the food. Everyone has said it's one of the top things to experience here and i can't wait!
I immediately knew you were in my hometown of Montreal from the wall decor behind you (Farine Five Roses)! Bienvenue!!! I can also guess which beauty office you're working at, I hope the transition goes beautifully.
I'm Canadian and lived in Toronto for most of my life but have visited Montreal many times and it's very charming. The biggest difference climate wise is that the winters in Montreal get a lot more snow than Paris. A trip to Mont-Tremblant located in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, ,( approximately 130 kilometres) from Montreal would be great thing to do over a long weekend. You can down hill ski. cross country ski or go dogsledding. Lots of choice. Welcome!
Montreal seems like the perfect compromise location! I think culture differences are interesting, so keep up your channel. Glad also that your health issues are better now.
Iâd love to see Montreal content and comparisons!
Hi Kate ! Welcome to Montréal!!
Here are a few of my favourite restos:
Elena or Bottega for neopolitan pizza
La panzeria- for great italian food from Puglia.
Tiradito- japanese and peruvian fusion
Barranco- peruvian
Damas- Syrian food
Café Olympico- for the best coffee (mile end is slightly better than the others)
Mal NĂ©cessaire- great bar
Fairmount or Saint-Viateur bagels
Orange Julep for great poutine and special Orange juice.
Also you gotta experience Montreal summers, theres always a festival in town and stuff to see or do.
Hope you enjoy the city as much as I do! đ
Honey, let me tell ya and believe me.. you're in for a Wild Ride, OMG! And I'll be watching every move you take with so much interest! Bienvenue au Québec! And do have fun! Bye!
You should just do what you love :) that's why I watch your content - plus it helps my English !
Since I'm French it was nice to have another perspective on the country đ I'll be sure to watch what you post about living in Canada !
Welcome to Montreal, bienvenue. Great city to live in. Lots of French moving here in the last years. My husband has family in Paris, so I am quite familiar with the French system. Quite similar to ours in Quebec. So you will be happy with this. So many cultural things to do here, summers are fantastic and because you are so close to your family, even better.
Welcome to my city! I figured you were in Montreal as soon as I saw the âFive Rosesâ artwork đ Itâs a great city, especially in summer. Until then, enjoy the snow âïž
Keep doing content. The contrast would be wonderful! Good Luck!
Thank you!
Bienvenue Ă Canada! đšđŠ
Would love to see a video about culture shock with being in Canada vs France and US as well as like similarities for both that you enjoy (or donât enjoy)
Old town Quebec City is one of my favourite places to visit in Quebec
My family is French Canadian. I've been living in Australia for many years. My advice - be prepared for the difference between your accent and the Canadian accent (and the cultural implications). Your husband will experience this more viscerally than you will, I expect. Should be an interesting ride! Good luck with the new adventure.
Great advice! It's really varied depending on who is talking to me how easy it is for me to understand. I'm sure i'll get used to it, but for now I've really got to concentrate when someone is speaking!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified Only a matter of time, don't worry, no problem! But don't mingle with the English-speaking, stay with the French-speaking, otherwise you'd gang up with the invaders, a move you definitely should never, never do, at least if you wish to know what life in QuĂ©bec is really like. I'll keep in touch for sure! Sounds like a lot of fun! Bye!đ
Congratulations and I am glad you a re well too. I would be interested to get your thoughts comparing Montreal to Paris, USA to Quebec, Europa to North America. Enjoy the cold! And as we say in Georgia... áČááááȘááá ááźáá áŹáááĄ!
Welcome! Coming from another french speaking country, it took me some time to adjust to the accent. Many neighgouhoods to visit outside of dowtown. Le Plateau and some parts of Rosemont have a big french expat population. I love walking jean-talon street (mainly in spring or summer) because it crosses so many different parts of town and therefore many cultures (italien, north african, haitian, latin amaerican, south asian, jewish, etc).
The metro gets you mostly in the busy sections of town but if you have a car, don't hesitate to explore outside.
I would love to hear about comparisons between Montreal and France/Paris! Also differences in the education systems!
New to channel, want to move to Quebec from the U.S., love your videosđđđđđđ„°
You do you! đ Ive never been to Montreal but I hear itâs an interesting merge of France and America. Enjoy!
Thank you!
Good thing you got your health issues dealt with before coming to MTL; they have a huge backlog. I would start looking to get onto a waitlist for a doctor right away, I lived there for years and never managed to get one. But, Montreal is my favourite city in Canada! (Though the winters are rough).
Favourite restaurant: Ile flottante. Les Grands Ballets has great shows, both modern and classical.
Montreal really comes alive in the summer, there will still be cool events in winter, but don't fret if the winters seem a bit dull. Truly and endless amount of cool and unique events come summer.
The many many potholes are a running joke.
Welcome to Canada! đšđŠ youâll love it
Thank you :)
Congratulations ! I left Paris about 5 years ago for Montreal and I could not be happier. Getting my CA citizenship in a few weeks ! Montreal is really the sweet spot between europe/north america and english/french. Bonne chance !
So glad to hear you love it so much! It's encouraging! xx
Wow!! Glad you are OK now. BIG change! What is Robinâs work situation? What are you doing for child care? Whatâs your tax situation - will you pay US, French AND Canadian taxes? Oy! I assume you kept your place in Paris? Are you concerned about your daughter jumping into French school without going through the pre-school there? It would be interesting to see Robinâs take on the differences. So many questionsâŠbut, what an adventure!! Hope to see updates whenever/if you can manage it.
Funny, I was just in Montreal on vacation that was an "audition" for possibly a move to Montreal. It's a lovely city.
Wow! Thatâs a bomb! Congrats!
Welcome to Montréal! Our daughter is a student at McGill and we love visiting her at school.
Weâd recommend visiting both markets; (Atwater and Jean Talon). The MontrĂ©al Museum of Fine Arts is amazing. We love âAura,â the light show at Norte Dame.
You have to eat at Schwarzâs Deli (try the smoked meat!) Cafe Santropol is one of our daughterâs favorites for vegan options. There are a bunch of great options in Old Town. Good luck!
Wow! MontrĂ©al is a fabulous city. Lots to enjoy and cost of living is much more reasonable than most big cities in Canada. Make sure u visit Quebec City, itâs very French there. Look forward to hearing your impressions of MontrĂ©al.
Iâm so excited for you and for new videos in Montreal! Iâm Canadian, not from Quebec but Ontario. I have a feeling that QuĂ©bĂ©cois French is sometimes quite different to France French, so it will be really interesting to see if you notice a difference. Iâm sure you will! I think actually that people in France donât like QuĂ©bĂ©cois, but that might be a myth, not sure đ€ Iâve been to Montreal a few times and the city is AMAZING!
Just like hipsmelissa, I'm franco-Ontarian. Welcome to Canada, Kate!
You mean the accent, we speak french . Like in english, depending on your education , some speak a better french in Quebec than in France ..Quebecois is not a language . We dont expect compliments from people in Ontario since it is unilingual in english and treats french like second class citizens in the education sytem and i cannot be serve in french in Toronto ..French from France are using english words and they sound horrible.
Oh wow! HI Mamâselle and welcome to Montreal - Iâve lived here for 35 years. I can totally recommend places to visit and I hope yâall love to hike - there are many lovely parks around here. You can also ski or do camping or kayaking/canoeing in the summer :) But I must say that when you can you need head over to Quebec city - the only walled city in existence in North America!!! It is a magical place whether in Summer or Winter..and the Carnaval de Quebec is starting soon!! I also recommend checking out the indigenous cultures and festivals POW WOW;s - Around Montreal is the Mohawk first Nations and in Quebec city there is a gorgeous Hotel and Museum called the Wendat-Huron First nations Hotel and Museum, very special and unique place. As well there is LâIle DâOrleansâŠouf I could go on and onâŠoh yes and must visit Charlevoix and Le Parc Du BIc up near Rimouski! Gorgeous. Anyway Bienvenue au Quebec - Profitez-en bien!
Bienvenue à Montréal! You will certainly love living here, except may be for the weather.
Welcome to MontrĂ©al! đ I'm french and I've lived here for 7 years now. There are so many great things to do here! Parmi mes restos prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s: Sushis momo, Yokato yokabai (ramen), Maison mademoiselle dumplings... Sinon, comme c'est l'hiver, il y a plein de supers endroits pour faire du patin, notamment dans les parcs, il suffit de checker le site de la ville. Tu verras que MontrĂ©al est vraiment unique et trĂšs diffĂ©rente de la France et des Ătats-Unis et trĂšs multiculturelle đ
Good morning ! I seem to detect a hint of spite. Montreal and Quebec certainly have great things to offer. The season is not the best for discovery anyway a very good year.
