Quebec is situated on the eastern side of the country, and is the second largest Canadian province. To give you an idea of its size, Quebec is nearly three times larger than France!

    The two main cities in French Canada are Montreal, and the capital of Quebec, called Quebec City. Montreal is the second largest city in the whole of Canada and both it and Quebec City are very attractive cities. There’s some great looking historic French architecture yet both cities are also cosmopolitan and modern with many fun things for language travel students to get involved with!


    As well as the cities French Canada also has some beautiful scenery mountains, including the Laurentians and the Appalachians. The Montmorency Falls are very picturesque too. Whilst you’re studying your foreign language course why not enjoy one of Canada’s most popular sports – Ice Hockey. The Montreal Canadiens are in the National Hockey League, so try to catch a game!
