French, English and Everyday Montreal

French is Montreal's public language, while English and many immigrant languages remain part of daily life across the city. That emphasis on French is Montreal's public language while keeps the guidance tied to Montreal.

French, English and Everyday Montreal

Why go

Begin in French when possible, then switch politely if needed. Most central visitor services can help in English, but French names on signs, Metro announcements and addresses are worth learning. Do not assume every conversation should begin in English. A greeting and a simple request in French show respect without pretending fluency.

Useful to know

  • Verify current fares, access rules or service details with the official operator.
  • Keep the advice flexible because weather and service changes can alter the best choice.
