She's Canadian. Quebecois. Her parents too. She is descended from French ancestors, but she is not French. Of course, being from Quebec, she speaks French fluently. I'm not sure if people in France can tell she's Canadian from her accent or the words she uses or whatever. Canadian French is different in some ways from French spoken in France. Not enough to not be mutually understood- similar to the UK and the US.
French with a Canadian partner here. Trust me with some deep-countryside type Quebec folks, we definitely can't understand anything they're saying. To be fair, the same could be said about folks in deep rural regions in France...
True about parts of the UK too though. Especially Scotland.
Yes, I go there regularly and same deal, I struggled even more in Ireland but I think that's because of my Scottish friends I've developed a bit of an ear for it.
