Photos of Quebec
The heart of French Canada
The heart of French Canada, where English is considered a distant
second language, Quebec (pronounced ‘KebEck’) is unlike
anywhere else in North America. The culture, architecture, music,
religion and way of life is truly unique.
The capital of the province, Quebec City, has a very noticeable
European feel to it. Modern buildings are few and far between, but
the impressive design of the walled city is quite overwhelming in
it’s location on a hill on the side of the Saint Lawrence
River.
In Montreal (pronounced ‘Mor’E’Al) English and
French are spoken side by side. Being served at a shop or restaurant,
you never know which language the person will speak. Over 40% of
Quebec’s population live here making it the second largest
French speaking city in the world. The Bi-Lingual status of Montreal
makes for a decidedly different air to other Canadian cities. Most
of the downtown of this Olympic city can be accessed by underground
malls that consist of over 40km of passages lined with shops and
restaurants, linked by malls and the popular Paris style Metro.
