Montreal bound need help?

Question

Salut Montreal,

My buddy and I are studying French in Virginia and would like immerse ourselves in French culture. Anyone knows a good travel agent with a great deal? Where is a good place to stay with lots of fun?

We looked online and everyone is asking lots of money. We rather spend the money having fun in Montreal.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Answer 1

I agree with the guy before me, maybe Quebec City is a bit better if you want French culture. Montreal is roughly half English/half French, so you might be a bit disappointed if you wanted pure french culture. But Montreal is definitely an amazingly fun place

Answer 2

Montreal is a great place with lots to do http://www.1montreal.ca/about.php

but if you really want to "immerse" yourself in French than a visit to Quebec City is much more francophone than is Montreal.   Its there 400 year anniversary this year and though you missed celine and sir paul (tragic huh!!) there is still alot of festivals and special events going on there this summer.
