   Naturellement! But seriously…Québec City and Montréal are very different cities, ones that complement each other nicely. Where the latter is edgy and cosmopolitan, the former is relaxed and comforting. Both cities have a thriving food scene, and a love for the outdoors. And they’re only three hours apart by train.

   There is a lot to see and experience here, and I’d recommend spending at least three days. Explore Vieux Québec on the first day, then branch out to such other neighborhoods as St-Rochand Montcalm on the second day. On the third day, consider a day trip to Île d’Orléans or Wendake.

   Apartment ads were my first hurdle to life in Québec City, and descriptions touting “1½ ,” “2½,” “3½,” “4½” and “5½” apartments confounded me. Eventually, I learned that the numbers indicate the number of total rooms, while the “½” means bathroom (even if there’s more than one). My first apartment was a 1½, which could best be described as a postag...

   Many assume that to enjoy Québec City you have to speak French – and that Québecois will treat you poorly if you don’t. Happily, this stereotype no longer applies (mostly!). I say this as an anglophone who is still struggling with the French language after years of living here full time. When I first visited in 2013, finding locals who spoke some E...

   St-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24 is the biggest holiday celebration for Québecois, a day for embracing the love and pride they have for their language, history, traditions and culture. It can be a fun day, but if you are non-French-speaking anglophone, use caution, as some unfriendly types may snap at you if you are not speaking French during the fe...

Note that the popular funicular that connects Terrasse Dufferinin Vieux Québec with Petit-Champlain in Old Lower Town is fully acce...
