In Montreal, have a beer at a terrace on St. Denis Street (Latin quarter), take a walk on St. Laurent or Crescent street. Eat a a French Restaurant (I suggest Le Petit Extra on Ontario near Papineau) and take a walk in Old town.

Don't miss the Terrasse Dufferin, the Chateau Frontenac beside the St. Lawrence, the basilique Notre-Dame and the old town (basse ville) in Quebec. Have a night of great jazz at the Clarendon Hotel (corner of Des Jardins & Ste-Anne) go eat a Poutine at an Ashton restaurant, have dinner at Le Cochon Dingue in Old town or have a pic-nic at the Plaines d'Abraham. Try a B&B in Orleans Island and stop by the Montgomery falls.

In the Gaspesie region (near NB), have a morue dinner with Matane shrimps at a roadside restaurant.

Have a great trip and take it easy!:-)
