Kingdom of Quebec 1804

IIRC correctly, Robspierre eventually became a victim of the Terror. You might only need to let events run their course more or less as per OTL.
What would happen to France’s colonies? Or should I say Quebec’s colonies?
Would Quebec get the colonies, or would it fall into Napoleons hands, or would it be split between the two?

I thought up with this agreement after the War, Between France and Quebec, where Quebec is allowed to trade with French’s colonies, while France still owns those colonies
But other wise, I would say, Quebec gets the French Antilles (not Haiti and Louisiana, when Napoleon rises to power) and French Guiana, while France gets everything else later on the line (like Indochina or Africa)
Algeria I think might be a link pin in cooperation. Perhaps an Andorra style co regency.

... and you assume France is going to conquer Algeria in any way close to IOTL why exactly? The whole affair was pushed forward by Charles X as an effort to get out of the humilating failure of the two-year naval blockade effort and get a political one-up on the liberal Peers, which without a Bourbon Restoration is hardly going to happen.
Quebec gets whatever Britain says they do.
Actually, I can see France still annex Algeria under a July Monarchy, if Louis XVI (or Louis I of Quebec) stays in Quebec (would you return to a country that wanted your head?) and his Brother becomes King of France and is overthrown in a July Monarchy

Yah... if you throw up a butterfly net the size of a mountain. The July Monarchy in and of itself was the result of a highly unlikely series of events and a very specific set of circumstances in French politics?
Wanting to return to this topic.
If King Louis XVI and his family fled to they’re French colony, and establish he Kingdom of Quebec from the French Republic/French Empire, would they (try to) continue slavery?

That's more up in the air than one may think. In Louisiana the politically active class was of course the slave holding elite, and interestingly also tended to hold more libertine quasi republican views. In Haiti Toussaint Louverture was himself a royalist. So I think it would be entirely possible for the King to proclaim the Free Soil of France to have followed him across the ocean, if for entirely cynical reasons.
edit: wait forgot this thread was about a rump New France.

Also, if the War of the Vendee still happens, how would the Exile Quebec court react to this?
And if it fails like in OTL, would many Royalists generals like La Rochejaquelein and Charette (try to) flee to Quebec, boosting military generals in Quebec?

I'm sure they all would want to, not sure how many would end up making the journey though.

Louis XVIII did in IRL did hold a government in exile - even if said government only existed only on paper or no farther than the ground of whatever palace Louis XVIII was mooching off of.
I do not thing the Louis 16th could or would go to Quebec. Louis 17th or 18th might go temporally to Quebec, all the while dreaming of returning home. As soon as they return home, the Quebec government would be abandoned and absorbed back into Canada.

How welcome will Louis XVI &co. be in Quebec, given that the French gave them up to Britain in exchange for a sugar island?
France is likely to want Algeria under its influence because Algeria is right there, regardless of who is in charge.

Technically, that was Louis XV, so maybe the French in Quebec would be more open to Louis XVI, since he’s technically the King who liberated them from Britain (The Americans actually did that, but I digress)
Maybe Louis XVI would form a court in exile and try to regain the throne of France, until Napoleon, ruins any hope (it’s 1804), and Louis XVI of France just becomes king Louis I of Quebec.
A I have question is if Napoleon is still defeated, would Louis stay in Quebec or return? I love the idea of him staying in Quebec.
I assume you mean France, right? I don't see why the French Royalists would have give the land they won durring the ARW back to the Brits.

Given the Brits are the ones lobbying to put the Bourbons back on the throne IOTL against Austrian proposals for regency for Napoleon the 2nd and a Russian desire for Bernadotte both under the Imperial system, they don't have a choice if they want to go home to their old power.
Strange, the British didn't demand Cuba or Manila as payment for their contribution to the Peninsular War.
