'Lac qui parle' is a French translation of the name given to a lake (located in west-central Minnesota) by the Dakota Indians who called it :
'Lake that speaks'.

Talking lake. Sounds like a name of a lake in French Canada or in Louisiana. Talking Lake sounds like a name the Native Americans would have used. Maybe the French settlers translated the name from the native language into French.

'Lac' means' lake', 'qui' is 'who' and 'parle' is 'speaking'... s
So 'The look who speaks'.
Hower, 'Lac' could be a name.
