You are about to explore small City East Coast of Canada. Other than Quebec City and Halifax and Sagenay at 500 K 400K and 140 K respectively The other spots are pretty small. I haven't been to any of those spots either. So other than rumours I'm out. Quebec City is old french and walled City. Big history with Canada vs France. We won but apparently lost. lol.
Sagenay 98 % french speaking. Learn a few words and try and they will be friendlier. The spots in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and Esp PEI will be great. Whats really there who knows. Bay of Fundy has one if not the highest tides around if the timing is right make sure you see that. Pretty late for any fall colours I would think. But you might get lucky. Your dollar on shore will be worth about $1.30 if that helps. Most of the towns have their own Specialty Beers, if you guys are into that. Quebec beer
