Quebec lodging found here

Quebec is Canada's largest province and home to the only French-speaking society in North America, only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay, to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. It is bordered on the south by the American states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with the Territory of Nunavut, the Province of Prince Edward Island and the Province of Nova Scotia.

Ranking as second most populated province, behind Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal, the largest city, and Quebec City, the capital. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, the Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The central and northern portion of the province is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples.

The Gallic ancestry of most Québécois is clear in their attitude towards hedonistic pleasures - they eat and drink in a style that combines the simplicity of the first settlers with the rich tastes of the French. Nowhere is this more evident than in the island metropolis of Montréal, premier port of the province and home to a third of all Québécois. Montréal's skyscrapers and nightlife bear witness to the economic resurgence of French-speaking Canada, whereas in Québec City the attraction lies more in the ancient streets and architecture. Beyond these centers, the Gaspé Peninsula, poking into the Gulf of St Lawrence, is the most appealing area with its inspiring mountain scenery and rocky coastline. Part of the peninsula, protected as parkland, provides sanctuary for a variety of wildlife, from moose to herons. Here, a score of once-remote fishing villages have become mini-resorts, the most attractive of which is Percé. Some 200 miles southeast of the peninsula, in the Gulf of St Lawrence, the Îlesde la Madeleine’s windswept archipelagos and beach-trimmed islands are there version of the Caribbean.
