Does a visit to Montreal really feel like a visit to France?

I'm American and speak some French, but don't have enough $ to go to Europe right now.

Hum, I'm afraid it does not.

The climate in Quebec is really different from the French one. The other important difference is the language. People in Quebec do not speak exactly the same as in Paris. Some words are different and the québecois have a very strong accent (from the French point of view, of course).

I agree with the first answer.

I lived in Montreal for seven years as a student at McGill University and, while it is a wonderful city, it isn't really much like Paris. Aside from the fact that its REALLY cold, Quebecois have evolved their own society in semi-isolation for over two centuries. Like their cousins, the Cajuns of Louisiana, they have a fascinating culture and cuisine but its just nothing like modern day France. (Its difficult ti imagine a Parisian eating Poutine, a Quebec dish consisting of fries, cheese and brown gravy).

As to the language, it was quite a surprise to me that when I first went to Paris, secure in my fluency in French, that I didn't understand half of what was being said. Parisians seemed to have the same problem with me. To this day, I have never lost my Quebec accent and most people still ask me whether I'm Canadian.

Québequois (french canadian) are more american, they are our cousins but very different.

They are proud to have french ancestors but for me, they stay canadian and that is good.

Thats like if i ask you if, if i visit Washington, i could feel like in London

nothing can match the atmosphere in the most beautiful "smallest country" in the world, maybe 40 of your ststes landscapes in a country 7 times smaller than Texas.
