Please don't eliminate our favorite the Eastern Townships from your choices. It is a beautiful and charming area with an interesting history and wonderful things to do.

The area around Lake Memphremagog is particularly attractive. The town of Magog- the regional tourist area is fun to visit and shop in. North Hatley a little upper scale.

Unfortunately the extraordinary Auberge Hatley- the best food in the region- burned down last month but there are many other attractions. Speaking of food, while in Quebec City, try the fabulous Laurie Raphael.
