Visit some places in Quebec. In the Canadian province of Quebec, Old Montreal and Quebec City smell like baguettes and sound like Catherine Deneuve. Old Montreal looks like old Paris, with cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and boutique hotels. Quebec City is like a medium-size city in France. Fly to Montreal, and then go directly to Vieux-Montreal, since downtown Montreal is indistinguishable from. Old Montreal dates to the 17th century and has a number of Parisian exports, such as Notre-Dame Basilica and the Bateau-Mouche, which cruises the St. Lawrence River. The area's streets are lined with outdoor cafes, French bistros (try Chez L'epicier) and European-style hotels, such as Hotel Place d'Armes. For even greater French immersion, hop a three-hour train to Quebec City, where 99 percent of the people speak French. The walled city offers great strolling, cafe lounging and dining opportunities along its Grande Allie and in the Old Port. For culture, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts features such impressionist stars as Monet and Renoir, and the Pointe-a-Calliere tracks the city's francophile history. And no Parisian, Canadian vacation is complete without stinky cheese from Yannick Fromagerie D'Exception, bread from Premiere Moisson boulangerie and wine from the government-run SAQ liquor stores. Then go to Mont-Royal Park for a picnic with a view. At night, take a ghost tour or toast New France with champagne at the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac.
