    • Montreal is very cosmopolite.
    You will be able to get by speaking English just fine. People will appreciate if you try to speak French and might even switch to English if they see you in pain. But do try, the effort is worth while.
    It's just funny that you may have trouble in some locations to get served in French (not to start a debate, but that what bugs people (and me)... you say 'bonjour' and the answer is 'what'!)

    Enjoy your stay tremendously!!!!

    St-Jean-Baptiste: St-Jean Baptiste is the national holiday of Québec

    • St-Jean Baptiste is the national holiday of Québec
    There is a big parade each year (back 4-5 years ago after an absence of 10-15 years). Floats, fanfarre, etc...
    For the second year, the parade is at night.

    And I am unsure why but, now we refer to the St-Jean Baptiste as the Fête National.
