French America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

French America (French: Amérique française) is the French-speaking community of peoples and diaspora, notably those tracing back origins to New France, the early French colonization of the Americas. Quebec is the center of the community. But it may also include Louisiana in the United States and Haiti. The Ordre des francophones d'Amériques is a decoration given in the name of the community to its members. It can also be described as the Francophonie of America (the continent).
