Hi everyone! 🙂 My partner would love to discover Quebec, while I’ve already been there over 15 years ago (Quebec City, Tadoussac, the Fjords, Lac Saint-Jean). This time, of course, we’d want to do something different. Quebec City would still be a must for my partner in this plan. With the tight budget we have right now🤪, we’re thinking of spending several days in Quebec City, then maybe renting bikes to explore the surrounding areas—aside from Montmorency Falls, what other nice spots are worth visiting? I remember there being tons of bike paths. After that, we’d rent a car (for a few days to visit the parks) and use trains or buses for the rest of the trip. From what I recall, cars aren’t super fuel-efficient there. Since we’ve never seen Niagara Falls, I’d like to include it in this itinerary. For a roughly 15-day trip in September, I was thinking of a multi-destination flight: France-Quebec / Toronto-France, so it’d look something like this: Quebec City: 5 days (including arrival day) Pick up the car La Mauricie National Park (or others?) 1 day Mont-Tremblant 1 day Montreal 4 days Drop off the car in Montreal By train/bus Toronto 2 days By train/bus Buffalo-Niagara Falls 1 day Toronto 1 day (return to France) I was planning one night at Niagara Falls—is that enough, or is a single day sufficient? If our finances don’t stretch that far, we’d shorten the trip from Montreal (so long, Niagara🙁), adding extra nights between Quebec City and Montreal. Anyway, thanks in advance for all your great tips!

Quebec: Living There and Finding a Job

by Titi2803 · 2025-04-21 · 3 replies

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to spend two years in Quebec and have secured a visa that allows me to live there for that long. I’m currently looking for a job. Would anyone have any leads on how to approach companies from France? I’m based in Paris and am looking for work in IT (Data Analyst, etc.). For example, could the Canadian embassy in Paris connect me with companies? Do you think it’s possible to move to Canada and find a job once I’m there?

Thanks! Have a great day

Tips for a 3-week road trip from New York to Québec

by Elvis95100 · 2025-03-02 · 8 replies

Hi everyone,

It’s been a long time since I last asked for your help! After an amazing road trip in the American West in 2011, thanks to all of you, and another one in 2019 from HOUSTON to L.A., this time I’m tackling the East Coast. But I’m stuck on the planning. I’ve booked a round-trip flight to NYC for 3 weeks in August. Now I’m trying to fill in the days. 5 nights already booked in NYC (Monday to Saturday). Then I absolutely want to head down to WASHINGTON for 2 or 3 days. I wanted to do a loop: NYC, Washington, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Boston, and back to NYC. I think that’s too many miles for the loop from Washington to Québec and back to NYC in 2 weeks? Especially since the first week is already planned: NYC to WASHINGTON! On the way back from Washington, I’d like to stop in Strasburg, Lancaster, and Gettysburg. Given that I don’t want to take any domestic flights, since my wife really can’t handle them! Originally, I wanted to fly from NYC to DENVER/SLC to do the Yellowstone loop. We’re getting older and don’t have the stamina for that anymore :( Driving down from NYC to Washington, there’s Philadelphia, but that scares me a bit. Back in 2019, before COVID, I thought we were going to get shot in downtown DALLAS! I can’t figure out how to plan 3 weeks around NYC! Considering we didn’t really like San Francisco in 2011 either. Though after 3 weeks in paradise among the canyons, arriving in that big city and going from 40°C to 16°C was a shock :) We prefer nature over big cities. Thanks for your feedback! Cheers

Issues with Air Canada for Cuba

by Hubert10 · 2024-11-17 · 1 reply

Booking for October 28th to Varadero, on October 22nd I was notified that it was canceled. I called and changed it to November 7th, departure at 7 AM. On November 6th, an email informed me that it was delayed until 12:30 PM. My return from Varadero on April 14th, 2025—on November 17th, another email notified me that my return flight on April 14th would no longer be direct but would make a stopover in Toronto. So, a heads-up to those thinking of booking with Air Canada...

Biking Across New York State on the Empire State Trail

by Sarana · 2024-11-08 · 19 replies

From Buffalo to New York City, the Empire State Trail is a 900 km route specifically designed for biking, with 75% on dedicated bike paths.

A special train with bike spaces runs almost the entire route. First along the Erie Canal to Albany, then through the Hudson Valley all the way to the tip of Manhattan. This lets you skip sections and also return to your starting point without having to take a flight. Just be aware that bike spaces need to be reserved and can fill up during peak times. In June, no problem though.

This aspect really appealed to me, since my last trip had kinda put me off biking in the US. But here, 75% on dedicated paths, plus that legendary finish in NYC with your bike—I couldn’t resist celebrating my 70th birthday this way.

https://empiretrail.ny.gov/map Two branches to reach NYC: from Buffalo (mostly on dedicated paths) or from Montreal (mostly on roads) The route was developed in just three years. While it’s popular with cyclists on certain stretches near cities, those who bike the whole thing are still pretty rare. It’s true that the scenery isn’t exactly breathtaking, and some sections—especially along the Erie Canal—can feel a bit tedious, though they’re very easy since there’s no elevation.

The trail starts in Buffalo, but since my bus from Toronto goes straight to Niagara, I’ll be starting at the falls instead. Plus, that’s where the direct train to NYC departs from (and arrives at).
