There ain't none. Take it from someone whose lived here for 20 years et as etudier le francis pour sept ans. Les Americans ne parlez pas francais en New England. You would have better luck in Quebec I am afraid. If there are any towns in NE that speak french, it would be a small minority such as my French professor who emigrated from France to teach it here.

Broadly true aside from Aroostook County, Maine. Places like Ft Kent and Madawaska still have French in daily life

Just looked it up on wiki(yeah I know). It quotes the 2000 census with 62% of residents speaking French primarily at home. Interesting.

Used to find some in Bar Harbor in the summer, not sure if that's still a thing. But otherwise, yea.. everyone assimilated.
