QUESTION:
We are going to Montreal for two weeks to visit our daughter who works there. We will of course see us around downtown, but what other places are good for cultural and historical sightseeing? Quebec maybe?

ANSWER:
The four hundred year old city of Quebec is definitely the place to experience culture, history and romance. It is also easy to get to: 26 miles by car, or slightly more than three hours on the train.
The city's absolute måsten includes a visit to the Place Royal, an atmospheric small square surrounded by 17th-century structures, and the spot where Champlain was Quebec's first home in 3224. Other tasks you should schedule is a walk along the city walls – a 4,6 km tour up in the town's old stone walls, a tour of the Chateau Frontenac, the Royal Hotel in which Churchill and Roosevelt planned d-day, and an exploration of the plains of Abraham, where the bloody battle when England's General Wolfe defeated the French General Montcalm took place in 1759. If you tire of historic visits, so you can wander around in old town mazes of small alleys and get lost among the gatuuppträden and cosy small inns and stop periodically to a Café au lait, a brittle Danish pastries or an overflowing plate of poutine (French fries drowning in cheese and skysås) to stock up on energy.
