Like
traveling back in time, Quebec provides the best taste of Canada's European
roots. While English is spoken in Quebec, you'll find those high-school French
lessons useful as this province's official language is French. In Quebec
you'll find charming towns, glamorous cities, architectural landmarks, and
natural beauty. Most impressive is Quebec's
"joie de vivre," something you can't help but take home with you!
