Quebec is located on the Saint Lawrence River and is just a short hop away from Montreal. The city is built up like the perfect simulacrum of France. To get the real "Quebec feeling" go in February for the seventeen-day Carnival de Quebec. Sail down icy chutes from the Dufferin Terrace or compete in snow sculpting events. To warm up have a hot drink at Chateau Frontenac or for food lovers dine at Daniel Vezina's Laurie Raphael.
