So much of the population is seasonal such that the town's population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends.

Frenchville has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.

As is often the case in a small town, Frenchville doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
