They are of French descent, and speak a form of pre-revolutionary French, which is quite similar to modern French.

Most people there speak French, yes. But most are bilingual and also speak English.

And if you're asking if they are French, as in, "from France" - no. They are French-Canadian.

no its full of quebecoise who are the decendants of france's first colonists in north america. They consider themselves a seperate nation and never "french". France abandoned them a long time ago in 18th century geo-politic arrangements with Britain. They call themselves quebecoise.
They speak a form of french (dialect) and it is predominant throughout quebec (especially quebec city and rural areas).
Montreal area is bi-lingual english/french to the point that people there speak a wierd mix of english/french subsituting one language for another seemingly mid-sentence.

No, Quebec is full of Canadian people (some don't want to be Canadians though) who happen to primarily speak french.

The official language of Quebec is French.

Quebec is the only Canadian province whose population is mainly francophone, constituting 79% of the population according to the 2006 Census. 95% of the people speak French as either their first, second or even third language.

that's the idea

Nope. It's full of Canadians who speak French. There is a difference.....

Quebec is primarily a French-speaking province. Yes, it is full of French people.

However, you will still find pockets of English people, especially in Montreal area. And many Quebecers in the larger cities (Montreal, Quebec City) and in the tourist areas are bilingual (French/English).

Hope this helps.

You'll the French language is quite dominant in Quebec, outside of Montreal, where it's about 50/50 or more English speaking. Quebec is a beautiful province, and I'm sure wherever you go you'll find the people warm and hospitable. Wouldn't hurt to try speaking in French, just a bit to show a bit of respect, especially to people older than you.

You can find both French and English people in Quebec. The big cities like Montreal have many English speaking people. The smaller towns are mostly all French. I visited Montreal and had no problems with communicating with people there. The people were very friendly in Montreal. Everything in Quebec is written in both French and English.
