Speak from your own area. In South Louisiana we have tons of places with French names. Unless they are skiers I don't so a large group from any southern team going to Idaho. Sun Valley is awesome but your typical southern get away.

Actually several in Arkansas as well though most have Englishfied.

Arkansas itself is an English corruption of the French attempt to use the Quapaw name acansa meaning downstream people.
Little Rock was orginally La Petite Roche
Ozark was Aux Arc
Cache
Cadron
Chicot
Delaplaine
Dumas
Fourche
L'Anguille
Petit Jean
Smackover which is Englishfied Sumac Couvert

Belle Fonte

Here in non-French North Carolina we have towns with names like Middlesex, Climax, High Point, Turkey, Lizard Lick, Icard, Mar-Mac, Pumpkin Center, Half Moon and Spivey's Corner.

You live nearby if you have heard of pumpkin center, you live in lincolnton or denver?
