Both are very French. Montréal is a much bigger city but Québec is special in that it is home to Ziners Cécile and Marc! Seriously, you should visit both places. In one week's time in 2000, we visited Montréal, Québec City and Ottawa http://www.thetravelzine.com/1canada2000.htm and in 2002, we overnighted away from Vieux-Québec in Sainte-Foy http://www.thetravelzine.com/bosmecan0602d.htm Both times we stayed at large hotels but there are numerous smaller, more romantic, choices as I'm sure you'll be hearing. For a Province of Québec itinerary, you could combine Québec City with Montréal and the Laurentians http://tinyurl.com/n7xz .
