Québec

Québec is Canada's French soul — the only province where French is the sole official language. Here, you feel transported to Europe: Montréal's vibrant cultural scene is reminiscent of Paris and Berlin, Québec City's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site that looks like an 18th-century French fortress town, and in Tadoussac, you watch blue whales from the shore. Those who know Canada only as an English-speaking country have missed its most fascinating half.
