Technically in the rural areas (where you're more likely to get "no English", some of the French spoken has incorporated a startling number of English loanwords... but with the strong pronounciation issues and French grammar, and some shared vocabulary does not a shared language make.
Amusing thing to note, in a Vampire game: Quebequois French is closer to medieval peasant French than Parisian French. Anachronistic vampires speaking continental medieval French or modern English with a continental medieval French accent won't stick out as much. Quebequois will probably be able to pick them out as talking funny, but the Anglos won't, and it makes for a GREAT cover when traveling in Europe.
