French people get very excited for some reason when we tell them that we came from Canada/Québec. There is this feeling that I can only compare to hosting a younger cousins from a village coming for a visit to a big city.
We met our next door neighbours the other day. A great young family with two children. As we introduced ourselves we mentioned we came from Québec. The mother immediately turned to her 4 year old and with an unhidden joy exclaimed: "Regarde Anna, ils viennent du Canada! C'est juste à côté du Québec!"* Ha! take that Canada! ;)
* "Look Anna, they came from Canada! It's right next to Québec"
