Napoleonic Louisiana if the Peace of Amiens Holds?

It's not clear to me this is a problem instead of an opportunity. After all, look at how Texas received a lot of German settlers.

I'm also not so sure that those American settlers who stream west will remain loyal to America. It didn't seem to pan out that way in Canada, after all.

'A lot' is an exaggeration. At no time in the history of TX (during it's Mexican dept. existence) did it have enough people to qualify as a full fledged Mexican state with representation. In fact, Santa Anna considered merging TX with Coahuilla to make a single large and thinly populated Mexican state. And TX was a garden state compared to LA... the latter was limited to one city and a couple of towns; everything north was wilderness. France could probably attract some settlers there... just not a lot. Frankly, if Europeans are going to emigrate overseas, America will be priority #1... because it's a big settled place with towns and land and jobs.
As for those Americans staying loyal to America... okay, it didn't pan out in Canada, but you remember what happened to TX and CA and HA, don't you.. :)
 
Amiens shouldn't matter much re: LA.

Once Haiti was lost Louisiana was considered worthless. It was a "swampy, worthless backwater that led to worthless semi-desert" that really only served to grow food for the (very profitable) Saint Domingue colony. Might as well sell it to l'Americains.

At best the French demand a higher price tag, or keep it as a bargaining table chip.
 
the government did make a major push to colonize Quebec... the king himself got involved in the matter. From what I've read, the end result was a huge amount of corruption as everyone involved did their best to bilk the king. The big difference between England and France in colonization was that the English wanted the land, and the French wanted to get rich and then go home...

False. The government tried half-heartedly to encourage settlement for a long time, then in a period of maybe 20 years got serious about the matter and successfully pushed the colony's population up by orders of magnitude. Then dropped serious efforts forever.

An intelligent policy could and would net settlement, and likely much more in Greater Louisiana than Canada could ever hold (somehow word did get out about the cold).
