Quebec is like no other province in Canada with French as the main language and poutine as their national food! Read my guides for Quebec, Canada.
The main highlight in Yamachiche is the nature park. Right off the highway, there’s a nature reserve that you can walk around and explore. It’s a true Québec hidden gem that’s definitely worth the trip to.
Did you know there are, not one, not two, but three lavender fields near Montreal!? Now you don’t have to plan a trip to the South of France to get a taste of the beautiful purple fields… although, who’s ever complaining about visiting the South of France!?
Les Chutes de Plaisance is part of the Plaisance national park in Quebec and it’s a historical site. It makes a wonderful day trip to nature. It’s also the perfect excursion if you’re staying at the Chateau Montebello for the weekend.
Tremblant is the perfect summer escape from Montreal. The main attraction here is the ski hill in the winter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t visit in the summer months. This was my family’s go to spot for summer vacations for years!
A true Montrealer is its own unique breed; different from Canadians and Quebecois. But don’t worry we still religiously say ‘sorry’ and ‘eh?’. So, if you’re thinking about visiting the city, or maybe even moving, here’s everything you need to know to fit in.
I feel a little spoiled having grown up here, we have really good food. I mean, it’s not Italy’s pasta and pizza, or even France’s baguette and cheese. But Montreal has the bagel (sorry New York), Orange Julep, and don’t even get me started on poutine!
