QWe are going to the Canadian province of Quebec for the first time next month, starting and ending in Montreal but with a trip north to the towns of Saguenay and Tadoussac. What would you recommend along the way?

What should we make sure to see on a visit to Quebec?

Name supplied

A Montreal is beautiful, fun and relaxed. By European standards, the old town isn’t particularly quaint, but it’s pleasant enough. Outside the centre, charming Rue St-Denis has excellent places to eat and drink. If you are a meat eater, make your way to 3895 St Laurent Boulevard and order a smoked beef sandwich at Schwartz's Deli - a fixture since 1928. It's absurdly popular, but if you are happy to sit at the counter rather than at a table, you won't queue for long.
