With the current favorable rate of exchange, visits to Canada have become much more affordable. Québec, especially, offers a truly “foreign” experience for much less than a trip to Europe.
Besides a dozen do-it-yourself walking or driving tours of Québec City and Montréal, there are easy excursions to nearby locations selected for their travel appeal, plus daytrips to the Charlevoix Coast, the St. Lawrence Valley, the Laurentians, the Eastern Townships, and Northeast Québec.
Each trip is complete with a self-guided tour, a large-scale map, price-keyed restaurant suggestions to fit all budgets, transportation information, timing, costs, phone numbers, internet addresses, and of course historic and cultural background information.
The book includes a highly useful French-Canadian menu translator as well as a general glossary for travelers and drivers. The index, arranged by interests as well as alphabetically, makes ferreting out those hidden delights so much easier.

Karen Desrosiers is an avid traveler, having grown up moving around the United States in a military family. She has spent much of her adult life traveling around the U.S. and Canada, as well as frequent trips to Europe. Preferring to travel independently, and subscribing to the “home base” approach of travel, she has had several occasions to use Daytrips travel guides and found them to be an asset on each trip. Her passion for travel is rivaled only by her passion to write essays, travel articles, and fiction.
