Reply to comment by woolsocksandsandals in French towns in the Northeast? by wojtekthesoldierbear

A nice bakery/cafe, a museum of some sort. My wife is Ukrainian but really enjoys French things so I wanted to at least see if there is somewhere local we could take a trip to.

Go to Quebec. New England's French heritage has long faded, and the Quebecois immigrants have been integrated for nearly three generations.

Also, Quebec City is one of the hidden jewels of North America, and is only a five and a half hour drive from Manchester. You will love it.

Stay at the Chateau Frontenac, hire a guide for a walking tour of the old city, have dinner at the Le Café du Monde, ride a toboggan on the boardwalk, and generally dig the scene.

Seconded, went last September. It was a great time, beautiful city and plenty to see, very European-esque.

So you can’t be bothered to go to Quebec? Um yeah that’s smart. There’s a French restaurant in Norway Maine that has escargot on the menu, seems to be about your speed.

You've willfully misrepresented or purposefully misunderstood... Everything, really.

Quebec is local my dude. Go hiking in the Whites in the summer, and it’s almost inevitable you’ll run into a French speaking visitor. They clearly think it’s local…
