CRC: I started this topic that has ended up with three whole pages of comments that have absolutely NOTHING to do with my question!!! I find that "awesome, DUDE!"
I think QC is a disneyfied Paris wannabe, but it is charming and a great family vacation spot for north americans that don't want to cross the big water. I was left wanting, though, from the quebecois emphasis on their history and culture (not to mention the language)... I mean, they have NOTHING compared to European cities. But, I do admire them for being proud of who they are and how they became that way. I just prefer France over Quebec. In a way, I wish I had traveled in Quebec before I traveled in France, maybe then I would have appreciated their stuff more than I did. But, once you've been to Chartres, Saumur, Chenonceaux, Carcassonne, Rocamadour, Toulouse, Lyon, Nimes,Avignon, Nice, Grasse, Eze, Aix, Annecy and so many others, how can anyone even blink at QC??? VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!! oh, pardon me (blushing)... I forgot myself. Anyone up for some boules???
