France. but Quebec and France still have really different vocabulary. and different slang words too. France is just really proper with their words whereas Quebec is like...the lowercase version

I don't think they speak better French in France, they just have the typical accent, but they have their own slang and they even use more english words than in Quebec.

go to france because not to many people speak english there so you'll be forced to speak french unlike quebec, where pretty much everyone knows french and english

i'd say quebec. the most "french" city in quebec is..montreal, and montreal is only 400 miles from the U.S if ur looking for options that dont involve spending alot of $$$.

i say qubec city is definatly more french than montreal just because they dont have the big buisness act of montreal.
if you go to like montreal and you start speaking slow french with a english accent they will start speaking english so i would say france

Americans generally have a bad rep in Quebec, as a ton of them come up here to party, and either a) Don't know how to handle themselves in a bar/when they are drunk or b) Act like they are hot shit and own place, only to get their asses kicked

Obviously this isn't true for everyone, but it happens enough for people to develop the stereotype.
