    • You have to know that in Québec province, the official languages are french and english. BUT, in Québec province, there is around 8 millions of people. In Montréal, we are 2 millions. So, out of Montréal, everyone speaks french, it is only in the metropolis that some people speaks english. So, wherever you are (on the street, in a museum etc), ask in french first the question you need answer at. It makes us smile and more friendly. As if you are in Italy and you try to speak italian (even if you are not good at), in Québec province we appreciate when you try more french. ;-)
    Even just Bonjour and Merci, Bonne journée etc.

    • Montreal's island has an area code, and it is 514 (then follow a serie of 7 numbers). Whenyou see a phone number that starts with 450 (plus 7 numbers), it means that where you are calling is outside the island... Like the suburb, or sometimes further.
