Well, she would certainly enjoy the U.P. of Michigan.
St Ignace, Manistique, St Jaques, Bay De Noc, Escanaba, L’Anse, Baraga Marquette..etc.

French voyagers first arrived in the 17th century? to scout to set up trading posts.
Mackinaw Island was once controlled by the French, then the Brits, then the Americans, then the Brits, then the Americans finally.

Most all the main waterways have French or French and indian names.

I remember trips to Montreal and Quebec City when I was young. Quite a bit different now, Montreal especially, but a lot of French. Went to Montreal in 2005 for the Jazz Fest. It was amazing.
