Florida is a winter wonderland for these Québécois snowbirds. They leave the Canadian cold behind for a totally French trailer park where no one speaks English - and everyone has a good time.
Long-time snowbirds Rollande, Yvette, Julien, Monique, Agathe and Nelson are all getting older, but still make the trip to Florida every year. They’re here to spent their winter days having fun in the sun.

Thank you ❤️
Here I was thinking CBC promoted the idea that wanting to living amongst similar people was bad. "It is good because nobody speaks english here" Now ask their feelings about Anglophones in Quebec.
@@laingadaing I live in Quebec and there is a very strong political movement against the English language and English Canadians in general. There are protests against brand names in English in downtown Montreal. The people you see in this video are just bringing this down to Florida.
We need so litte to be happy.. Vov.
feel good? this has to be the most depressing thing I've ever witnessed.
Hide your husbands, Agathe is on the move!!!
Agathe is fabulous!
LOL
hahahahaha
I have found my new role model in Agathe!
I’d love to meet her!
Fun fact: Agathe is only 22 years old, but she just really likes the sun.
Lol 😆
lmfao
@@bourqueal I know right that was funny
🤣🤣🤣
Agathe isn't messing around! Pepsi and a chocolate bar?
Dear, Diary
I've finally found the woman of my dreams
Brilliant!
Lmao you know where to find her, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't say no!
Agathe should be a playable character in the next Grand Theft Auto
Oh most definitely!
Or a villain in James Bond.
i know you meant this as a joke but i really hope she’s in the game HAHAHA i love her
who ever directed this really likes Wes Anderson.
Where do you think wes anderson found inspiration? Documentaries like this are a genre on their own.
+againsthegradient No one watching this is has any idea who Wes Anderson is.
at least 3 of us do, @@vinnievictory1186
Joannie Lafreniere is her name!
@@vinnievictory1186 - My first comment mentioned Wes Anderson before I even read any of the comments.
To be able to live like this in your mid-80s is a blessing. Yes we all go sometime but many are in very poor health in their 80's.
I live in florida and every year from like now until april, the Quebecois are everywhere!! They are the sweetest people ever and they're always surprised to see an American who can speak French.
Thank you. My relatives go almost all the time, but I doubt they are there now. Probably wishing they could. It's nice that there is a community down there.
Are you related to actress Lorraine Bracco?

Gathering No Moss ...Oh come on...live a little 🏊🏻🏊🏻🏊🏻
looks chill
It beats drowning.
These folks were adorable to listen too, after all I'm only 85...love it.
Je suis Américain de parent Québécois. J’ai travaillé dans un resto sur la plage à Hollywood à la fin des années 90. La majorité de nos clients étaient Québécois. Le peuple Quebecois est un peuple généralement accueillant, chaud, jovial, etc. Ce petit montage me ramène plusieurs beaux souvenirs et me rappelle la richesse que mes parents m’on donné en insistant que j’apprenne la langue de nos ancêtres.
Ça me semble que vous l'avez très bien apprise.
Brian Parent j’aimée votre commentaire,j’habite à Montréal depuis 2003 et la peuple québécois sont des gens très gentils qu’ils accueillent les émigrants chez eux avec le respect,sont chaleureux des gens sacrifiés avec le dure hiver.
Je beaucoup aimé voir c’est personne âgées qui prisent la retraite et se donnent un qualité de vie au soleil même s’ils ont des petits maisons mais les plus important est la manière comme ils vivent la dernière étape de la vie.

@@lumar786 très beau commentaire de ta part.
I partied with french Canadian folks In South Carolina. Fun times. They drink hard.
hahaha. I can see that
mr zed that’s how we survive winter hahah
Hahha its true that we drink a lot. I thinks it because of the long winter that we have. Some people get depressed.
Im 20 years old and i can drink like 15 beers for one night and i will be ok haha
That's not a Quebecois thing... it's a Canadian thing... lol
Whoever edited this video deserves a promotion. What a spectacular editing job!
I completely agree....enjoyed every minute!
Totally. It flowed really well together

@Augustuvi Primce dea.V. happily she's an independent filmmaker!
You did not understand. This film is a caricature, not a documentary film.
We have French Canadians in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas
As (Snow Birds)
Very good people , kind
Neighbors , we like them
Alot !
Maybe u guys like them but most of Canada can't stand them - my father told me this, he was French Canadian, lol!
@sierra choco you leafs can't banter, that's the problem
French Latinos
These retirees have the right idea. I’m sure they all have traditional homes back in Canada with lots of "things" but it’s the simple things and less distractions that bring pleasure . Like walking the beach and not having every moment of the day planned out. Meeting up with friends, enjoying a swim in the ocean, playing a boardgames with a neighbor or a glass of wine with friends. A lot people think having materialistic things will make them happy, when in fact It’s the time we share with one another that brings happiness and wonderful memories.
you get it!
Most of these people have worked hard to raise their family, and now are in the last usable 20 years of their lives, nobody can blame them for wanting to spend this time with pleasnt winter instead of harsh and cold weather, they are blessed by life, and they should enjoy it
I want to hang out with these French Canadians...Love the Quirky humor...Totally Chill..
T Powell Organise a trip to Québec and you will meet a lot of chill people.
You will remember your trip for the rest of your life.
Don’t forget to learn a couple French words and make the effort.
Quebeckers will open their arms for you like you never imagine.
@@JL-wh3jj This is so very true of both Quebec and France, if you as a guest make the least bit of effort to fit in and say bonjour you will see an enormous transformation of your experience.
Im from quebec and we love to have to here!!! Try some poutine (food) and many part of quebec we speak english and try our best! I work with customer service and when we have tourists (obviously not this period of time) i love it and to give them my fav places to go etc!
marsneedstowels that a beautiful constructive comment
In Québec, people can make a film like this that doesn't make fun of the people but has fun with them. Very charming, and revealing.
I’m guessing people from other provinces could do the same.
@@groupewaite for example? any docs or films you have in mind?
Plenty of docs at the archives. of the NFB! Just because the film is about retired Québécois, doesn’t mean the it was created by a Quebecois(e) btw!
@@groupewaite Joannie Lafreniere? Why the need to question a statement about Québec? It's a beautiful province, beautiful people. Doesn't mean Ontario is not? Quebecois people maybe for necessity do tend to lovingly frame their culture. This is a positive.
geinikan1kan I agree regarding Quebec. I disagree that only a Québécois can make such a film. Canadians as a whole have a reputation of making interesting & innovative film. You implied this was solely a Quebec phenomena....
These French canadian are actually really kind people.
You must be from the USA cause only you could find them kind i live in Canada when we go visit my family in Montreal if we need gas, directions a store and u ask a question and you know they speak broķen English they will
say no speak Englese English is the
International language even on vacation they insist on speaking french no broken English so i don't speak broken french
christine Cammalleri in Europe, French Canadian have a very nice reputation.
Otherwise I learnt 7 languages in order to travel and speak with my neighbors. Even if English is the international language, you could learn one other to buy gas instead of bashing others cultures. Here I only see arrogance.
@@christinegizza1414
🙄
You're at them, you should do the effort.
But do they really speak French?
@@christinegizza1414 Totally reasonable to despise a whole province because someone didn't speak English to you.
This is real. I lived in Quebec and there are actual French-Canadian people who don't speak any English and spend every winter holiday in Florida with other French-Canadians who don't speak English.
thank you for mansplaining to us that it is a fact 17% of quebecois speak only french. seriously, never knew that.
@alecrebel : There was no incest in Quebec villages, where people were strict catholic believers. You have proof? Facts? Stats ? No. You have nothing. You just do Quebec bashing, as usual.
Most French Quebeckers are not fluently bilingual. The most bilingual Quebeckers are now the anglos.
Heureusement, les gens ne sont pas tous racistes et xénophobes.
@@gotacallfromvishal The percentage is MUCH higher. Many Quebecois do not speak English. There is just no need. I have a huge Quebecois family and 75 to 80% do not speak English and some speak a little broken English. My parents could not speak a word of English when they moved to the US.
These great people know the secrets of having a happy life: Companionship, a relaxed and friendly environment, sun, continuous learning to keep the mind sharp and engaged, good, food, exercise, and a sense of humor.
French Canadian through and through, except the sun part

Agathe doesnt have a tan…...she's toasted!!!
Yes!
A bit well done I'd say, LOL
@@lisamartin3734 I think she is inspiring.
It is obvious that tanning brings her joy and she's 85 years old, so why the heck not?
That's actually what she was joking about in french and the english translater didn't translate the joke...
15:03 « there is a fly, he achale me ». LOL
Deerfield Beach here: love you Canadians and Quebecois (yes I know it's the same country).
These old people are so cute 😁
James I KNOW that people calling someone 'cute' is rarely, if ever, meant in a bad way, and perhaps I am just over-sensitive these days, coming up to full retirement, but....I have mixed feelings when I hear young people calling older people 'cute'. It almost feels as though they are dismissing seniors as being 'irrelevant' or not to be taken seriously. I may be the only one, but...well, does anyone else feel oddly uncertain when they are getting older & hear this? Just wondering. (I also enjoyed the video, James, & found the characters fascinating!)
@anders damin Yes, exactly. I wonder if kids under 10 years old feel this way too? I hate the fact we are all aging, but when I consider the alternative...it is better!
@tupacamaru2 okay, jesus it's just a word? "doesn't inspire passion in somebody" you're taking this way too deep, my guy. smhh
What id they are racist old men saying stuff like they'll "kill that cat if it comes in the house" and "get off my lawn!" Still cute?
@alecrebel *cringe
Pepsi and a chocolate bar is the MOST Quebec snack ever.
It was sort of like watching a Wes Anderson doc. I'm from Québec and know about snowbirds, but it was really engaging to watch this. Well done! Félicitations!
Yes -- Wes Andersen-like. Only Bill Murray missing.....
I got a Wes Anderson vibe too. Especially the graphics in the intro.
@@surreyguy52 - All the colors and static shots as people walk into and out of frame are totally Wes Anderson.
Amanda B On dirait une pièce de Michel Tremblay haha
I love the sleepy style of this documentary! Kinda has a Napoleon Dynamite feel with the music and photography. Inspiring too!
My grandparents are French Canadians.....This made me laugh and cry. True Quebecois are the heart and soul of Canada. Jusqu'à ce que nous retrouvions grand-mère et grand-père.
Great comment - I feel the same way!
As for Agathe, you go girl!!! At 85 years old I don’t care 🤷🏽♀️ what language you speak!! Moi assi , Je parle un peu Francais!!🙋🏽♀️🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇦💕
When I grow old I would be be like that older lady dancing "I will never slow down" hahaha, I love her energy!
shes amazing
Love her too! :D
Me too!! #lifegoals
I would be her boyfriend in a heart beat. I'll be 61 in Jan. 2019. A cashier at Macy's told me just yesterday that I looked 45. I squat 305lbs. for six sets of 8 reps and am still getting bigger and stronger by the week and month. I'm about a 6.5 to 7 for my age group and hope to find a girlfriend someday. I'm not a dancer though like her. I'm clean but no moustache like she wanted.
@@alanwilson2073 go find her!!
Never knew french Canadian snowbirds could be so entertaining. lol
Lots of respect for these people, was very nice to see them in the class at the end trying to learn. Language can be difficult as you age.
Some parts make me smile and the other parts make me scared and sad about growing old lol. I'm in my late 20's and this makes me say to myself "b*.ch go out and enjoy your youth!"
I live in south Florida and this doc was spot on.
@alecrebel omg...seriously? you have more inbred hicks here in the USA and in the south for sure than you do with french Quebecers

They seem happy...Long may it remain. Dieu les bénisse...
Vous êtes quelqu'un de bien , que Dieu vous protège vous et ceux qui vous sont chers !
🇫🇷
The french eating hot dogs and speaking English. You would never see the European french living this lifestyle. I think these people are brave and fun loving like all french people.
The speaking Enlish part I agree with you, less true with the better educated younger people but Hotdogs, I've been here for 50 years and have always known Hotdogs! The bread is different as it is usually made with a piece of French baguette but it's still a sausage in bread. Sometimes the sausage is dipped in hot Dijon mustard before being slipped into the hole in the middle of the bread or ketchup.
Oui !
They aren’t French. They are Québecois. There is actually quite a large cultural difference.
French Canadians are as French as Torontonians are English. There are both strong cultural links to their mother counties, but both English & French Canadians are still very North American, eating their hot dogs & playing shuffleboard.
Agathe has the best advice for life. I am Québécois by ancestry but live in Orlando now....even so this park feels like another world away. Je t’aime bien Agathe, vous êtes si belle
I adore Agathe.
She's a hoot, & I hope I've her verve for life when I'm her age.
After reading the comments, you realize Americans have a soft spot for Quebeckers.
And all the bad comments comes from Angryphones from Canada.
Julien Labry oh shut up lol. You can’t know where commenters are from.
Wasup Fool Reality hurts.
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta Québec bashing is more about jealousy and envy. They hate Québec because people are happy, confident and the women are beautiful.
Rohan Dahiya Pluta I think Americans finds Quebeckers to be chill and relax.
They are intrigued by a culture that puts quality of life first before getting rich in material.
And the French culture has a reputation to be romantic.
Much respect to the 85-year-old lady who's sporting a tan! I want to have the same outlook on life if I'm lucky enough to live that long. Still full of youthful energy.
Respect our elderly French Canadians. We are all worthy.
Respect all human race. America could learn from the Canadians. Viva la Canada!
35 years ago I was on a business trip to Quebec. I stopped for gas and looked at the maps for sale. There were three. Montreal, Quebec Province and Ft. Lauderdale. Brought a smile to my face.
I don't speak much French but I love this documentary. And I love the lady whose name I think was Agathe. I want to be like her! She's younger than I am and I'm 63 and she's 85 LOL Great job.
Frank Gentile and she is really beautiful too ! A lovely lady for sure
She likes younger men xD
She did say she likes a younger fella with salt & pepper hair and a beard...! But beware... you'll have to clean your feet every day! Haha!
Give her a call. LOL
Katy Maloney she said a moustache not a beard lol
"When I get old!" That's what a few of them kept saying. Too cute!
What happens psychologically is that the older you get, the older "older" seems to you. When you're 20...40 is old. But when you're 40...60 is old, and so on. Being old...it's got a lot to do with you mind...some people think old at 55...some at 85 think young and are interesting to talk to. Twenty-somethings are extremely boring to talk to, but they have lovely skin and hair.
To be fair, their English is better than my French, probably better than most English Canadians' even.
That shot of the retirees chanting their ABC's was awesome.
This’s the third time I’m watching it with a smile on my face whole time and it warms my heart each time ❤️
when i grow up i want to be Agathe. she's the Barbie version of my grandma
Pepsi instead of tea, chocolate bar instead of Quality Street and chips, walk around the park instead of church, pool instead of Coronation Street. same same
Quality Street?
This lady lived trough the Révolution tranquille ( Quiet revolution ) and most likely is atheist/lapsed catholic anyway, so she wouldn't go to church.

My parents are retired, they purchased a mobile home and spend winter in Florida. The locals are very patient and tolerant of our french canadian elders. Im glad they chose Florida over Cuba, dominican rep or mexico. Our elders can be naive and vulnerable. Thank you Floridians for watching over our elders, i hear good things.
I dont know why but french canadian elderly got this kind of kindness that is unique. Maybe i fell nostalgic because i had good great parent ... Entk reste que quand tes quebecois , tu l'est peut importe ou thabite

These people are adorable. Makes me want to retire in FL.
From 20:01 to 20:24, observe how this man walks like a young man with a brisk, even pace, not slow and not fast.
I loved this. It reminds me so much of my grandparents. They too were snowbirds but they went to a park in Texas. I went there for a couple months some years and it was THE BEST.
Joannie Lafreniere is a talented treasure! Being québécoise myself I found myself amazed at how she managed to capture this microculture so well and with respect. Watching with my anglo husband who grew up visiting his grandparents in Florida, we were most impressed with her cinematography. The shots/set-up/frames are reminiscent of Wes Anderson IMO. The music is right on point. A delight to watch and looking for Joanne's other projects.
OMG, I live in Fort Lauderdale so true we have a large amount of French Canadian that absolutely loves Hollywood, Florida. Watching this film I had no idea that they live in Trailer Parks. Now they built Margaritaville in Hollywood, Florida it's crazy how it looked 10-15 years ago till today. Being a French woman it's nice to know where I can go to for a full immersion of French
.
As a kid in the 80's I remember Fort Lauderdale was better known than Miami or other major US cities (except for cities with a Hockey team).
People here were like: "Houston where is that?". "Fort Lauderdale?, Oh that's in Florida, USA".
Old Orchard, Maine was also a well known city around here.
I love listening reminds me of my parents, they were French Canadian 😍
They should move to places like Vermillion Parish in Louisiana. Cajun French is very similar to Quebec French. Plus it’s also very sunny.
Ahaha and here I am as an American living in Quebec who speaks awful French.
Que penses tu des Québécois ?
Trying to learn and practice it is the important thing. A Québécois in Germany. Bienvenue au Québec
I hope someone introduced you to 'Poutine' , our national delicious confort dish lol
LMFAOoa Same
I’m a French Canadian and I like these people they are sweet and gentle…they deserve a nice retirement under the sun ☀️
Such a perfect film! the colours, the editing, they way the characters were developed, so well done! Thank you for such a pleasurable piece, would watch again and again!
Watch any Wes Anderson movie if you like that style.
The French that I’ve been learning for years is not useable to understand these folks. This is French in another level J’adore l’accent québécois !
I found I had a dreadful time making out what they were saying.
It's NOT an accent.... it's a BUTCHERED version of the "ONE" French language
Sounds like a great place! I love french Canadians they're lovely people.

Mona G. J'espère que vous avez raison. Mais venant de la CBC, j'en suis loin d'être sûr, car les Québécois y sont présentés comme un peu ridicules et ghettoïsés (lire les commentaires des anglophones...).
OMG around 14:00, this is my favorite moment XD "Yes, no, toaster, osti!"
Dude paid $5000 for his place 21 years ago. That's $238 a year! He'd pay that and more for only one night in a hotel. Even if land promoters only gave him a dollar to buy him out, he'd still end up winning.
Sonia B he’d still have to pay monthly fees to the campsite though!
What about rent?
Good for them! Enjoy your retirement and your vacation.
They are all so sweet, I hope they never lose their park.
I guess thats in Fort Lauderdale.

GREAT I like having french Canadians in the states.
The accents! I had to go way into the country to hear it that thick. You don't hear that in Montreal or Quebec City.
Just being old makes a huge difference.
Yea these people are 70 + not the same french as today, even out in the country!
Damn! auntie Agathe is 85!! Lovely documentary of elders aging gracefully!
I am in love with this film! Congratulations, Joannie Lafreniere, you've really captured the joie de vivre & sense of fun of Quebecois, & in particular Quebecois women. I also love the Wes Anderson-esque aesthetic & visual compositions. Lovely lovely film, I enjoyed this immensely.
great film but the older Québécois we see in it are in no way representative of the majority of Québécois men of that generation. Not the ones living in Québec full-time at least. My uncles are of their age and they are nothing like that on the contrary they're funny as f and it’s great fun to be around them at parties. Don’t let their rough, grumpy ways fool you. Get to know them and in no time you’ll agree with me
Je suis americaine et je voudrais bien apprendre par rapport a la culture quebecoise. J'aimerais bien rencontrer des Quebecois en Floride. C'est ou ce parc exactement? Si vous voulez apprendre l'anglais je suis la en floride aussi!

Louisiana and Florida are the only states in the us that has a lot of French speakers in Louisiana it's required to learn French in school and in Florida there's a lot of Spanish and French and you have to pick one of those languages to learn in school

Why Tf do we need a language police?

@Doffy Rob French is normal in Quebec im speaking they make it difficult for an English to live and grow in Quebec..
This was heart warming! Many of the racist anti French comments here are not, though. The québécois aren't always treated nicely if they can't speak English, and that's a shame because they don't cause any problems and they help the economy! Québécois are always welcome, if you ask me!
I'd love to practice mon francais avec elles!
@tdot22 By suggesting that all pur laine québécois are racist and want to ban the hijab is an ignorant remark, and ironically, a stereotype that you chose to spread. That negates any argument you make, in my book. PS, the hijab debate is going off on a tangent, let's stick to the topic at hand
Very true
Hi tdot22, there is a lot more to what you are complaining about. When I served and worked in the Middle East, we did our best to respect the local customs and religious practices of our host country. We realized that we were guests in countries that had traditions and a history much deeper (longer) than ours (North Americans). When Canada opened its doors i.e. wide opened to immigration, some newcomers rejected traditional French Canadian customs - Christmas became "the Holidays", "la Saint Jean-Baptiste" became the "Fete des Québécois" as not to upset our immigrant population. During Ramadan, I dressed and acted respectfully of Muslim's traditions and celebrations - I did the same for Jewish celebrations while serving in Israel. Coming back to Québec (Montréal especially), realized that holiday names were changed, gymnasiums/outdoor fields were "placarded" were kids practiced physical fitness (PT in school) as not to "tempt" other denominations... and strangely enough, I could not recognize my own origins.
This is what Québécois are opposing to - some immigrants come to Québec (and Canada) creating the same conflicts and bringing the same issues that made them leave their country of origin in the first place. Some have been using a very liberal Canadian legal system, to reject Canadian customs, traditions, history, ... For many Québécois, a face veil, headgear (in some cases by police officials), ... is seen as a threat especially for the older generations who are feeling displaced by these massive ethnic displacements.
Turn the situation around, if a large group of Christians (especially Roman Catholic if you refer to Québécois) would establish large communities within Muslin states, how would they be "received" or "accepted".
lancelot1953 They would NEVER be accepted in Muslim countries but expect western countries to do what they would NEVER DO! Unfortunately, we have liberal politicians that let this go on.
I met some very Nice French Canadian folks while handling a will for a lady my husband knew from Church. They met us and smothered us in hugs and kisses. They still email us too.
