Comment sa va? Sorry, I know it should be with the sa should be with a "c", but my computer doesn't do the little mark underneath the "c". I'm not French Canadian, but I am from Montreal if that helps. Hope you will love living in The Villages.

From Westmount. My great grandfather built the City Hall. It is was an independent city when I lived there but is all now part of Montreal.

Ooops! Jojo, meant to ask where you are from?

And there's a very active Canadian club that meets during snowbird season. I'm sure Barefoot will be happy to tell you about that. Also, I know of two couples from Montreal that are here off and on during the year. I'll try to introduce you to them when you're in town at the same time.

Most keyboards have the ability to switch to a French keyboard. Several French speaking groups around. My South Louisiana wife is a member of two.

Thanks all! I am American by birth, born in Manchester NH of Canadian parents. Moved back to the province of Québec when I was a baby so I was raised in French. Came to US on vacation at the age of 22 and never returned to Canada except to visit. Learned English at 22. In Canada I lived in the area of Sherbrooke. In US I lived in California, New Hampshire and last 23 years, I have been in Connecticut.
There you have it! My life story in condensed form... Lol!
