5 Days in the Area - How many nights in La Malbaie?

We have 5 full days to explore Quebec City and the area around. We're wanting to do the drive to La Malbaie and see the sights.

We're stumped as to how long we should spend driving to La Malbaie - 1 or 2 nights? We're from Vancouver, love visiting crafters and artisan shops. We wouldn't do a lot of hiking in Quebec but are for sure stopping at that waterfall. Alternately, in the City we want to see all the historical sights, but won't visit every museum.

Anyways, 4 nights in Quebec City or 3?

Looking forward to visiting you :)

Amazing Weekend

Just returned from our wedding anniversary. Left Concord NH area Friday 8/14 at 8am stopped off 93 at Pollys Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, NH (get the blueberry pancakes) for breakfast at 9:30am. Got to Quebec City around 3pm. Parked at the public parking garage next to the Marriott downtown on D'youville just outside the gate. We had a city view on the top floor (7th floor). $20/day to park. Park yourself don't do valet. It's next door.

2 nights was perfect. We explored Friday bouncing around getting drinks. Had a good meal. Saturday went to a bakery and had multiple coffees from
Different spots. Took the tour of the citadel. Had poutine. Just a wonderful weekend. The fireworks pics are from our hotel room at the Marriott from Saturday night.

We will definitely be coming back. August is a great time to visit. No brainer trip if you live in New England and can drive.

Guys Trip

Hello all! I'll be visiting Quebec City on September 22nd through the 25th. I'll be with a group of 4 other guys and we are 27 through 30 years old. We will be staying in an AirBnB in the Saint-Roch neighborhood. We are trying to come up with an itinerary, and I would welcome any suggestions for our stay.

Zines in Quebec

Allo! Je fait des zines et je les partage dans les bibliothèques gratuite à Québec et certain café (deux pour l’instant) qui son sur mon chemin.

J’essaye d’apporter à Québec un peu plus d’art et d’échange/évènement artistique de tout niveau tranquillement avec ces zones et je me demandais si vous aviez des recommandations d’endroit ou porter mes zines ? ( ils sont gratuit le but est de créer une communauté d’artistes/art lover non le profit)

Y a t’il des groupes avec des but similaire que je pourrais rejoindre etc?

La majorité des évènement son à Montréal et je veux en apporter à Québec.

Merci ❤️

C’est quoi une adresse à Québec que plus de monde devrait connaître?

Chaque ville a ces endroits que les locaux adorent mais dont on ne parle jamais en ligne. Ça peut être un trou pas cher, un camion de bouffe, une boulangerie cachée. C’est quoi la vôtre?

English: What’s a Quebec City food spot more people should know about? Could be a hole-in-the-wall, a food truck, a bakery tucked away somewhere. What’s yours?

Where to stay in Quebec City - Bike Trip

- Looking to do a 4 night trip in Quebec with 3 total adults

- Want to stay somewhere in the city, not too touristy, a walkable or short drivable destination to the part of the city most worth visiting

- We will drive all 3 days to either E47, SDM, and Mont-Saint-Anne, so not getting stuck in traffic or city core congestion would be ideal

- My research suggested Saint-Roch

The Question:

Advice on what region to stay in and - AirBnB or Hotel. I also need to keep my bike either in my room or secured safely, and I am trying to stay under $250 a night.

All suggestions welcome!

Qu'est-ce qui vous rend le plus fier de votre ville ?

Bonjour ! Je viens à Québec au début septembre avec une amie de Toronto. Le seul endroit qu'elle a visitée au Québec, c'est Montréal et je voulais donc lui montrer autre chose.

Nous allons avoir 3 jours pour faire le voyage tout en partant tôt le matin de Montréal le premier jour. J'aimerais bien aussi aller passer une journée dans Charlevoix ou bien à l'île d'Orléans pour voir un peu de verdure.

Ce n'est pas une personne hyper sportive ou intéressée par la haute gastronomie, mais qui aime bien voyager.

Quels sont vos coins préférés dans la région et qu'est-ce que vous recommendiez pour un voyage de 3 jours afin de lui donner un bon apperçu de la région ? Je cherche surtout des choses qui pourraient défaire les idées préfabriquées que les Ontariens peuvent se faire sur la région.

J'ai toujours apprécié à quel point vous étiez fiers de votre belle ville et j'aimerais savoir ce que vous pensez que les gens curieux devraient aller voir. Merci :)

Le meilleur Cinéma?

Salut tout le monde ! En ce moment, j'essaie de voir trois films à Québec : Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey et Your Name. J'aimerais regarder les deux premiers en anglais, et Your Name de préférence en japonais sous-titré anglais, mais un doublage en anglais me conviendrait très bien aussi.

J'ai remarqué que Cineplex ne projette pas Your Name dans ses salles en ce moment. J'ai fait des demandes en ce sens, donc j'espère vraiment qu'ils vont l'ajouter. J'ai vu par contre qu'il passe au Cinéma Le Clap, donc je me disais que je pourrais peut-être aller le voir là-bas.

Le truc, c'est que comme je compte voir plusieurs films sur une courte période, j'avais l'idée de prendre un abonnement d'un mois pour économiser un peu. Ce ne serait pas possible si je vais dans deux chaînes de cinémas différentes. Est-ce que ça vaut le coup de regarder tous les films au Clap ou dans un autre cinéma ? J'adorerais aussi voir The Odyssey et/ou Spider-Man en IMAX si les projections durent assez longtemps.

Bref, vous en pensez quoi, qu'est-ce que je devrais faire ? (Désolé pour le paragraphe un peu partout!)

Pro tips for travellers: get an “àvélo” pass for the duration of your stay!

Québec is know for having lots and lots of hills, it’s also very vast compared to other cities of same population. ÀVélo are electric bikes that are all over the place now in Quebec City, you can find stations anywhere. Just take a bike and drop it elsewhere. You can also lock them while you do some shopping and resume.

Share your experience if you are a tourist and tried it!

(Not available in winter, yet)

Best Cinemas for Québec?

Hello everyone! I am currently trying to watch three movies in QC: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and Your Name. I would like to watch the first two in English, and Your Name preferably in Japanese with English subtitles, but an English dub would be fine too.

I noticed that Cineplex doesn't currently have Your Name at its locations. I have been requesting it, so I can only hope it gets added. I did see, however, that it is playing at Cinéma Le Clap, so I was thinking of maybe watching it there.

The thing is, since I am going to watch several movies in a short timeframe, I had the idea to get a one-month subscription so that I can save some money. This wouldn't be possible if I go to two different theater chains. Is it worth it to watch all the movies at Le Clap or another theater? I would also love to watch The Odyssey and/or Spider-Man in IMAX if the screenings last that long.

Overall, what do you think I should do? (Sorry for the messy paragraph!)

Affordable hotel recommendations near Place Bell for a first-time visit to Quebec

Hi everyone! I’m going to a concert at Place Bell next month and it’s my first time in Quebec. I’ll be travelling alone and I’m looking for an affordable, simple hotel near Place Bell.

I don’t need breakfast, a pool, or anything fancy, just a clean, safe place to sleep. Any recommendations for budget-friendly hotels that are convenient for Place Bell?

Many thanks!

A Complete Guide To Quebec French

Hi everyone! Former Quebec City resident here.

I am an American who has been living in Quebec for 10+ years and I just finished my free guide to Quebec French. I've lived in both Quebec City and Montreal and have become fluent in French while living here, and a while back I decided to put everything I've learned about Quebec French into one place.

In the video I talk about the history of Quebec French, characteristics of the accent, common words, the famous sacres, anglicisms, and some tips about what helped me to learn.

If you're an anglophone in Quebec City or just coming to visit, I hope this video helps you!

Where to stay other than the Old Town?

Coming in for a couple nights soon. We've stayed in Old Town in the past and love it, of course.

But this time we'd like to stay somewhere else & looking for recommendations. We'll have car.
