Quebec is a unique and phenomenally historical city. I highly recommend coming to visit this place. It's in close proximity to most locations in Maine -- took us about five hours to get here from Orono but at least a half hour was tossed on due to the Vichy (Nazi) French border patrol agents... but no, I've found the French people here to be very considerate and accomodating.
We came here looking to blow off some steam from the 5 or 6 straight weeks of work, hit up some clubs, etc. but were amazed by the sheer natural beauty of the surrounding area, the endless historical preservation of vast stretches of the city, including the building themselves, walls all around the "Old City", bridges, stone steps, etc. This is a true gem that I wish I could explore for more than just the one night I'm here.
Granted, It's cool coming here being under 21 and being able to stop in at the pubs and grab a brewskie, but that's really just the icing on the cake.
Probably the most unique aspect about Quebec -- by far the quietest city of over 50,000 people I've ever been to. It is a Tuesday night, but you can almost hear crickets in most of the Old City.
Anyways, best wishes from Quebec. Bonne nuit!
