Just stay on the highway and don't go exploring through a more rural crossing. Perhaps entry into Canada is easy this way but wow I got the third degree coming back over the two lane crossing near richford Vermont in the Northeast Kingdom. Took me more than an hour of searching and I was the only car. Stay on 89.

Manchester still has French parishes but it is rare that you still hear it on the street anymore as it was in the '60s when I was growing up. I know plenty that speak French but do not use it anymore.. Better luck if you go all the way up to Berlin, more isolated. But yes others have stated at that point just go to Quebec

Stewardstown, NH.

It’s a really remarkable place in northern New Hampshire where the Canadian border runs into the State of NH and is on the other side of the river. The library is half in Canada half in the USA and it’s a really interesting Bordertown. That is your best bet while staying in the US.

Once you're in Paris it's easy enough to take another flight or the train to wherever. I haven't been to southern France personally but it sounds like your wife would love it. If you can afford it I think you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't go.

If you want good pouting, by the way, check out Duckfat in Portland Me. It isn't remotely French Canadian but it is delicious. Just be aware that there will be a line to get in.
