I'll follow with interest. We are just back from 2 weeks in Quebec. Fell in love with Quebec City, didn't feel the love for Montreal, though and 3 days there was too long. We also had a week at La Malbaie on the banks of the St Lawrence, and Justin Trudeau (and about 40 big burly security guards in 15 Cadillac Escalades) popped into our hotel to make an announcement about next year's G7.
We were puzzled that our French which gets us by perfectly well in France didn't cut it in Quebec. I think they understood us OK but we struggled to get what people were saying initially. Even a simple greeting at a hotel desk had us stumped. It really is a different kind of French me thinks. People were friendly though, and once they they saw our puzzled faces, they slowed down and we got by.
Hope you have a great trip.
