Quebec City
With its cobblestoned streets, quaint 17th-century houses, stone fortifications, and French language, Quebec City is about as far away as one can get for a 3-day weekend without having to deal with jetlag. This French city by the majestic St. Lawrence River won’t disappoint, either – you’ll easily be able to pretend you’re in a small European city by exploring the city’s magnificent architecture in Basse Ville (Lower Town), dining at fine French restaurants, and sipping a café au lait at a sidewalk café. If things get chilly, head indoors to the magnificent St Laurent Bar & Lounge at the imposing Chateau Frontenac, and order a martini – try the hotel’s signature Winston Churchill, F.D. Roosevelt, or Maurice Duplessis varieties – while overlooking the river. Fantastique!
