Things to do/see in Quebec?

[number9]

The Mrs. & I are thinking of heading from Maine up to Montreal and Quebec City in August... do any NESRs have some recommendations? We are both French speakers so we're keen to check out the French Canadian side of things, so if y'all have recommendations -- besides strip clubs in downtown Mtl, that is -- I'd be all ears. :p

Casino de Montreal, Biosphere, amusement park on the island, Olympic park.

Don't forget to take her to some of the places on St. Catherine's St.

The house from the TV show "The Munsters" is just south of Quebec City.

I always enjoy the Mt. tremblant area, lots of beatiful roads for riding, and of course, the racetrack.

Club Super Sex. Here's a pic from one of my trips so you have a visual

Super Sex sucks. Its the most expensive place on the strip, and the girls are....shall we say not as "hands on" as elsewhere? :

Which part of "not the strip clubs" did you douchebags miss?

highsider: Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check that out. Any others?

If you're into history and Euro culture, just head right up to Quebec City. Its pretty close to an old French village, they have great food and wine, and some cool old churches, etc.

If you're looking more for some good twisties, head to Mt. Tremblant, which is kinda-sort between Montreal and Quebec (although a bit off to the west).

Either way you decide to go, you'll be glad you speak French. Once you get out of Montreal, there are very, very few people who speak English.

Thanks highsider, I am more looking for the history and culture stuff than the twisties -- though I won't discount them entirely! I think we might do this:

Portland to Burlington
Burlington to Montreal
Montreal to Mt. Tremblant
Mt. Tremblant to Quebec City
Quebec City to somewhere in central Maine that's interesting
then back to Portland.

Yeah, I've heard that -- not the coolest thing in the world, but what are you gonna do? They are trying to protect their culture, I think they go the wrong way about it though.

I will look them up, thanks!

[MissTwisties]

If you need links, more infos, etc. I *think* I can help you....LOL I'm from Quebec, been there all my life, lived a few years in Montreal AND Quebec city. I can email you a bunch of stuff.

Ca fait que vous parlez francais ta femme et toi? Je savais pas qu'il y avait d'autres gens qui parles bien le francais sur le forum. I have family in Portland ME

[number9]

RandyO: Um... that's a pretty big egg-beater! I will keep my eyes peeled, even with my lack of navigational skills I reckon I could find that in the countryside :p

MissTwisties: My wife & I met in Mali (West Africa), which was Francophone; I was there with a mining company and she was a Peace Corps Volunteer. So I wouldn't say we speak French well because we speak African French, so I'm sure some of the sentence constructs we use will get us strange looks in France :p

[Doc]

If your coming into Burlington and I am home... The Misses and I woould show you around.

[number9]

Doc: That would be très bonne! Thanks for the offer.

Okay, planning on heading out on Sunday, just up to Quebec City for four nights and then back -- can't get any more time off from work.

Anyone got accommodation recommendations up there?
