Questions about driving in Quebec

Otter refuses to go up there.....they have a history of trapping Otters!

 

And they eat BEAVER TAILS and put CHEESE & GRAVY on their FRENCH FRIES.

 

I am lucky to be able to converse in both languages so I never had much of a problem in Quebec. Most people in business in the province are bilingual, so when you are delivering to a place, there is almost always someone in the office who can speak english. If the guys in shipping/recieving have trouble talking to you they will probably refer you to the person in the office who can.

Pretty much everybody on the island of Montreal speak english. Off the island and in some of the smaller towns there are fewer people who speak, or are willing to speak english. If you tell them you are American they will be a little easier on you, because then you won't be expected to be able to speak french like you would if you were Canadian, and they will usually cut you some slack.

Most signs are only in french, Nord=North, Sud=South, Est=East, Ouest=West, Camions means truck, and if you see Camions Interdit it means trucks are forbidden. Montreal can be scary if you are not used to it, you really have to watch your signs.

 

Cheese and gravy fries are called Poutine, about the only good thing to ever come out of Quebec, that and steamed hotdogs from Lafleur.

 

Go to the red light turn right, drive 4 kilometres and turn left at the gas station. You will see a pig farm on the right, turn right there and it will be 6 kilometres up the road, or something like that,

 

It is just femminine and masculine, in french everything is one or the other, Ste. is feminine.
