Manchester's West Side. Chez Vachon is a French Canadian restaurant here. It's amazing! Classic gorton, poutine, you name it. The West Side is known for its French-Canadian roots.

Chez Vachon is great but the area is decidedly not French anymore, my grandfather still bemoans the loss of the community and culture

Yeah I can definitely see how it's probably not like how it used to be. But there are still some hidden gems!

I work right around the corner from Chez Vachon. Can confirm, not super French.
