Quebec is the heartland of the French population in Canada. The lifestyle and culture of this vacation spot is still steeped in its French roots and it gives the visitor a taste of European flair that cannot be found anywhere else in North America. The city is still surrounded by its original city walls and as the second largest city in Canada, there is always some international event going on. With the Laurentian Mountains as a back drop for the city, you also have the opportunity to enjoy hiking, skiing, and camping while you travel here. And make sure you visit South St. Lawrence and enjoy the fresh maple that is tapped here. It’s as good as that tapped in Vermont.
