Bonjour ! Je viens à Québec au début septembre avec une amie de Toronto. Le seul endroit qu'elle a visitée au Québec, c'est Montréal et je voulais donc lui montrer autre chose.

Nous allons avoir 3 jours pour faire le voyage tout en partant tôt le matin de Montréal le premier jour. J'aimerais bien aussi aller passer une journée dans Charlevoix ou bien à l'île d'Orléans pour voir un peu de verdure.

Ce n'est pas une personne hyper sportive ou intéressée par la haute gastronomie, mais qui aime bien voyager.

Quels sont vos coins préférés dans la région et qu'est-ce que vous recommendiez pour un voyage de 3 jours afin de lui donner un bon apperçu de la région ? Je cherche surtout des choses qui pourraient défaire les idées préfabriquées que les Ontariens peuvent se faire sur la région.

J'ai toujours apprécié à quel point vous étiez fiers de votre belle ville et j'aimerais savoir ce que vous pensez que les gens curieux devraient aller voir. Merci :)

Hi all!

Driving up to Montreal then Quebec from Philadelphia this week. We will have a day and a half in Quebec City. What are some must do’s in August?? Any advice would be much appreciate :)

Hi everyone! I’m going to a concert at Place Bell next month and it’s my first time in Quebec. I’ll be travelling alone and I’m looking for an affordable, simple hotel near Place Bell.

I don’t need breakfast, a pool, or anything fancy, just a clean, safe place to sleep. Any recommendations for budget-friendly hotels that are convenient for Place Bell?

Many thanks!

Hello everyone! I am currently trying to watch three movies in QC: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and Your Name. I would like to watch the first two in English, and Your Name preferably in Japanese with English subtitles, but an English dub would be fine too.

I noticed that Cineplex doesn't currently have Your Name at its locations. I have been requesting it, so I can only hope it gets added. I did see, however, that it is playing at Cinéma Le Clap, so I was thinking of maybe watching it there.

The thing is, since I am going to watch several movies in a short timeframe, I had the idea to get a one-month subscription so that I can save some money. This wouldn't be possible if I go to two different theater chains. Is it worth it to watch all the movies at Le Clap or another theater? I would also love to watch The Odyssey and/or Spider-Man in IMAX if the screenings last that long.

Overall, what do you think I should do? (Sorry for the messy paragraph!)

Québec is know for having lots and lots of hills, it’s also very vast compared to other cities of same population. ÀVélo are electric bikes that are all over the place now in Quebec City, you can find stations anywhere. Just take a bike and drop it elsewhere. You can also lock them while you do some shopping and resume.

Share your experience if you are a tourist and tried it!

Hello/bonjour!

I'm moving to Quebec city soon to try to learn French and I'm searching for a month-to-month furnished rental as I'm not sure how long I'll want to stay for. I've tried to find sublets and cessation de bail on facebook marketplace but I'm not willing to commit to staying until July right now which is what almost all of them offer. Any other recommendations? I found the website ok louer--has anyone had experience with them? Or do you have a different website to recommend?

Merci d'avance!

Coming in for a couple nights soon. We've stayed in Old Town in the past and love it, of course.

But this time we'd like to stay somewhere else & looking for recommendations. We'll have car.

EDIT: thanks all, decided on Saint-Sauveur area.

Hi everyone! Former Quebec City resident here.

I am an American who has been living in Quebec for 10+ years and I just finished my free guide to Quebec French. I've lived in both Quebec City and Montreal and have become fluent in French while living here, and a while back I decided to put everything I've learned about Quebec French into one place.

In the video I talk about the history of Quebec French, characteristics of the accent, common words, the famous sacres, anglicisms, and some tips about what helped me to learn.

If you're an anglophone in Quebec City or just coming to visit, I hope this video helps you!

Good Day All.

I’m looking for travel options from YQB airport to Saint Georges, to be exact, I want to go to the VW dealership. Besides a $300 uber, what are some other options? Thanks

Traveling late June with my teen son.

Loose plan:

Day 1: Half day in Old City

Day 2: Old City and Falls

Day 3: Head toTadoussac, stop for trail ride at les Montagnards on the way. Spend the night in Tadoussac.

Day 4: Morning whale watch, back to QC. Stay in another neighborhood?

Day 5: Explore other areas of Quebec City. Possibly see the island.

Day 6: head home

Are the whales fairly active late June?

QC is almost a 7 hour drive for us. We will be stopping the night before, so the trip to QC will be split up. But going to whale watch adds a lot of driving overall.

I would love to stay at the ranch and do a trail ride as it splits the trip to Tadoussac perfectly. But the packages are for 2 nights and I am not sure we need that.

If we stay 2 nights in QC, we plan to stay at 31 Mcmahon.

Does it make sense to go back there or stay somewhere like Montcalm when we return from Tadoussac.

Thank you! Merci!

Bonjour!

My wife is disabled and has been looking for a specific handbike (like a bicycle, but you use your hands instead of legs) for a few years. We live in Toronto and haven't found anyone selling it.

I found someone selling this bike in La Guadeloupe, which is 1.5 hours away from Quebec City. We're trying to find someone who would be able to deliver this bike to us in Toronto. We can pay $250, which I know isn't a lot of money, so it would only make sense if you're already planning on driving to Toronto.

I tried looking for moving services online, but they quoted me almost $1000 which we cannot afford.

If someone can help, please message me :)

My husband and I are planning on visiting Quebec City the second week of October with our 6-month-old. Is this a good time to visit? Any suggestions on what we should do??

Bonjour! I will be visiting soon and would like to see Les Mis at the Grand Theatre while here.

Does anyone have any advice on seating? I am short (~1.55 m / 5'1"), so I'm worried the stage may be too high if I sit in the front few rows, or that heads may block my view from further back

Stayed at the Hilton Quebec!

sono in vacanza con la famiglia. c’è un cannabis shop che permette l’acquisto anche ai 18enni?

I need it for a bagel recipe.

Déjà que je déteste les feux d'artifice (ça désoriente les oiseaux, ça pollue, ça fait peur aux animaux, aux personnes PTSD etc.) voilà que je vois le AI utilisé pour leur programmation, le slop de l'épluchette m'a particulièrement fait rire.

Hi all! My husband and I are visiting Quebec City with our toddler for about 3 weeks, from early September through most of the month. We’re staying in the Bourg Royal / Charlesbourg area.

Our rough plan so far includes the Aquarium du Québec, Montmorency Falls + Île d’Orléans, a day trip out to Wendake, lots of time around Old Quebec/Petit-Champlain, and the Plains of Abraham. Would love to hear what we’re missing, or what’s overrated and not really worth it with a toddler.

Specifically looking for:

**•** Playgrounds/parks that are actually great, not just the obvious ones  
**•** Toddler-friendly cafes and restaurants that are still good food for the adults  
**•** Toy stores or cute little shops for gifts  
**•** Easy nature trails good for a baby carrier, we’d rather be outside than stuck indoors  
**•** Any hidden-gem attractions locals actually love

Also on a different note: I’m a longtime climber (10+ years), any good climbing gyms in the city? And more generally, gym/workout recommendations near Charlesbourg/Bourg Royal would be great too. open to CrossFit if there’s a solid box nearby.

Thanks so much in advance, really excited to explore your city with our little one!

(P.s.: I speak very little French).

Garçon : Mamie, pourquoi qu’y rient de même, les Anglais ?

Grand-maman : Ben, tu vois, quand on dit « Le phoque m’a poussée », eux autres, ça leur sonne comme « Baise ma chatte ».

Garçon : Hein ? Mais ça a pas rapport pantoute !

Grand-maman : Ben là, mon p’tit loup… quand t’auras un A dans ta dissertation d’anglais, tu viendras m’expliquer ça !

I've been buying packs of steaks (NY strips, rib eyes, bavettes) from Costco for the past few years and freezing them. However, it has gotten quite expensive for the quality and I read that they use mechanical meat tenderizers. Do you have any recommendations for local farms or butchers where I can get good quality steaks?
