Montreal does increasingly have the feel of the international Francophonie, and yes this does give off a Parisian vibe demographically.
Of course, the Anglo-Montreal community is something that doesn't really exist in Paris, and that's more a mix of Toronto and New York, albeit often with a high degree of familiarity with French that neither of those two cities' denizens have.
