If you would like a foreign type vacation but don't want the expense or time to go to France,
I highly recommend the province of Quebec Canada.

You can fly into Montreal and then take the train to Quebec City.
The train is totally amazing and you will always want to travel that way from then on.
Unfortunately they do not go as fast as an airplane.

Or you can drive of course.

I will not tell you how many large chocolate filled croissants I ate traveling around Quebec this
past summer.

I did do a great deal of walking so managed only to gain a pound or so.

I love all the old churches in the old cities in Montreal and QC.
So I eat croissants and then go sit in old churches and say some prayers.
Montreal Cathedral is fabulous.
