Seek out some European flavor right here in the Americas
Quebec City
Celebrating its 400th birthday in 2008, the first permanent French settlement in North America is celebrating its joie de vivre with a yearlong party along the St. Lawrence River. Wander the steep cobblestone streets of Old Town – the only city north of Mexico with its original city walls intact – and the sights (17th-century stone buildings with bright flower boxes), sounds (French is spoken everywhere), and smells (fresh baguettes!) will instantly transport you to France. And with all the money you’ll save by avoiding transatlantic airfare and hotel stays, you can easily splurge on all six varieties of foie gras at chef Frédéric Boulay’s sensational Le Saint-Amour restaurant. Fantastique!
