Montreal, Quebec
Witness a French-infused city that's in love with festivals, the arts, good food, living well and enjoying life to the hilt. The Québécois love their summers and autumnal colors, but it is the winter that defines much of their lives, which slow down and become more insular in the grip of those long, dark months. With that said, the passion for life that animates Canadian Francophones does not truly dim in the cold, but is rather celebrated around cozy fireplaces, in friendly pubs, at steaming sugar shacks, and, of course, on the slopes of local mountains via skis, snowboards and toboggans

A popular oasis in the heart of the city, the Jardin botanique de Montréal is recognized as one of the world's largest.

First flight in North America
Quebec is considered one of the best leaf-peeping destinations in the world. Fall comes early in Canada, with leaves starting to change in the northernmost deciduous forests in early September and spreading down to the American border by the end of the month. By the time October rolls around, a rainbow of reds, oranges, golds, and yellows has already taken over the province, making it an ideal destination for folks who want to get an early start on seeing America's fall foliage this year
Fort Chambly National Historic Site
From its original wooden fort, built in 1665 by the Carignan-Salières Regiment,to the exit of British troops in the mid-19th century, every corner of the site echoes military life.
