Little correction: the chutes Montmorency are not in Lévis. Lévis is across the river St-Lawrence. Les Chutes Montmorency are in Beauport, a part of Québec City.
@@chrisplusmelissa Yeah. I lived for 4 years and a half in Bic. I was a village close to Rimouski but now it has been merged with the bigger town. Bic is super cute, but most villages around Rimouski are cute as well. Saint Fabien, Saint Narcisse, Saint Anaclet, etc. All postcard perfect! Rimouski is a university town with some nice restaurants, seafood, an amazing promenade by the sea, ferry to the Côte Nord, bike paths, etc.
Hey! You're back in Canada. Great. Now you'll experience French Canada. The only parts of Quebec where you'll hear a significant amount of English spoken is in certain neighborhoods in Montreal and Gatineau, Qc. BTW Melissa, your French accent, especially for an American, isn't too bad at all!
@@chrisplusmelissa No worries. It just means you'll have to come back and visit Ontario, Canada's economic heartbeat and most populous province. But, because Ontario is so massive geographically, with widely divergent regional cultures, don't spend the entire time in Toronto. Try Ottawa (Eastern Ontario) for a while, London, ON (Western Ontario) for a while, and Thunder Bay (Northern Ontario) for a bit.
The "sugar shack" or "cabane à sucre" as it's called here is a typically Québécois tradition that dates hundreds of years. It's a rustic spring feasting experience where tons of food is offered and where maple syrup is the star ... it's also a family gathering where we celebrate the end of winter with traditional Québécois music. Joie de vivre 101 PS: Lesson #1 about Québec: you'll never go home hungry ... we know food, 'nough said!
Many lines of my family came from France to Île-d'Orléans in the 17th century and many then went to St. Nicolas (now incorporated into Lévis) shortly thereafter. My third great-grandfather and great-grandmother left St. Nicolas for L'Erable, Illinois (a french community) in the first half of the 19th century. Thanks for showing me some of Lévis as I've never been (yet).
I did have great time watching you guys! Your videos were amazing! You came to Lévis! Juste to bad !! I was not your guide 😲😲I am from Lévis too! Juste to bad I never met you guys on the street 🤣🤣 I leave not to far from the old Lévis! Have fun guys! I will be following you guys for sure! My name is Réjean but you can call me Reggie !
Thanks for another enjoyable video. You were not in Lévis during the most complimentary time of year. If I was moving to Quebec as an anglo, I would strongly consider the Eastern Townships (Cowansville, e.g.). There are tons of picturesque towns in the region, it was traditionally a largely English speaking part of Quebec (less so nowadays but more than elsewhere in Quebec), the weather is milder than Quebec City, and it's close to Montreal, NY and Vermont. However I would not move to the province of Quebec again unless I was pretty confident that I could learn French to a decent level (I'm not). Looking forward to your continued adventures.
Learning a language is intimidating to me (Chris)... but Melissa loves it. So she'd probably be the one speaking for me... :D When we were at the sugar shack in this vid, the women serving us asked Melissa if I even knew english because I just sat there and smiled... I was too intimidated to try to chat with her! :D It was funny.
Born and raised in Québec City here (but I've lived in almost every Canadian provinces from the East to the West Coast). It was a good idea to choose Lévis instead of Québec City. You probably got a less touristy experience, and Lévis has the best view of Québec City! It's the best of both worlds!
I've never been to Quebec and I what have seen thru your vlogs that it is beautiful and so much cheaper than here in BC. I think you want to be here in BC but if you choose Quebec, you'll be known as Franco Americans so get that soup and spaghetti on.
Hi Chris and Melissa, I'm enjoying your journey (Also a little jealous), I live in the Montreal area and would suggest next time your in our area to visit the Laurentians, about an hour north of Montreal. Give a shout when you do, we can hook up.
I don't understand how people can exercise in shorts with the snow in the background, temps here are around 15C° and I'm shivering, let alone Québec with degrees of -30C° during winter

J'aime beaucoup vos vidéos, merci, vous êtes drôles!
Thank you! ( Merci! :D)

When you come back to Quebec, you have to live a few weeks in Rimouski. It is super peaceful, and yet culturally rich city.
Thank you for the tip! It looks delightful!

Hey Chris your french is improving day by day.

Me too! Unlike many of my relatives my family remained in La Belle Province making Sherbrooke home.
A nice calm, civilized way of life……you’re almost immersed in a French speaking area and doing well!
We do like Quebec!

@@chrisplusmelissa The terror will pass when you learn a few salutations and phrases in French and live there for a while.

That view... I smile every time I think of it.
As always another great video

BC is hard to beat.
You have to like winter weather, though!
We like the beauty of it... I (Chris) love a snow storm. It's the bitter cold that we're not a fan of.
You can always become snow birds, lol!
You made this Vancouverite cry with those real estate prices.
We tend to want our viewers to laugh...not cry! So sorry! :D
I think you should have gone to Laurie Raphael, my opinion!

Thank you for the suggestion and offer! It may be some time before we're back in that area, but always good to know.
Hello, loved your video, you guys are great but not enough walking 😂
I cannot walk across suspension bridges so dont feel bad
Your French is pretty good !
Melissa has some skills. Me... I am still trying to figure out English! :D
@@chrisplusmelissa There is no rush ! I'm glad to see an open-minded anglophone. Welcome to Québec (You might not be there anymore, but still :)
Vive le Canada! Canada seems to like you.....hmmmmm. Maybe the cosmos is trying to tell you something?
It might be. :)
I’m just wondering, is there a part of France that speak Canadian? Confused as hell! (From a simple Englishman) 🏴
I don't understand how people can exercise in shorts with the snow in the background, temps here are around 15C° and I'm shivering, let alone Québec with degrees of -30C° during winter
Because I'm odd. :D
We, we, cé bon, mercy 😆😅
My man is wearing a Tool shirt, so I know to he's legit.
No way electricity is way cheaper than in English Canada or the US.
No way the electricity is paragouvernment and the cost is very CHEAP, .09 cents per Kw hour
You don’t see many over weight Quebecers, lol!
True... we noticed that as well. It's the stairs!!!! :D
you are lucky to have a beautiful woman
