    Of the major cities, only La Nouvelle-Orléans and Philadelphie are usually spelled differently, though certain cities such as Détroit and Érié have accents.
    Some smaller cities with "Lake" in their name will have the word "Lac" instead, but Salt Lake City remains the same. (Though it's found at the shore of the Grand Lac Salé)
