I live in the suburbs of Bordeaux, in a small town called Pessac. It's not particularly beautiful, all strung out along the road from Bordeaux to the Arcachon bassin. But I do cross the Haut Brion vineyard everyday going to and coming back from work ! Quite a change from taking the subway in Paris ! And since I usually do it on my bike, I benefit from the sun, the wind, the rain... After 18 years cooped up in Paris, it's still a delight, 6 years after moving here to be able to see the sun setting on the horizon ! And seeing stars at night ! No stars in the smoggy parisian sky, unless there is enough wind to push all the pollution toward the suburbs !

Thanks David, I have to agree that Quebec is a beautiful city. I've been here for the last 4 years. But I had lived here prior to that, so in my 27 years I have lived in Quebec city for about 15 years. I love this place that's why I always end up back here

Oh, Quebec ! Every french dream holiday destination ! Abroard, yet people speak french ! albeit with a strange accent we find so charming, forgetting it's the way our ancestors probably spoke ! I would love to go to Quebec once, in winter ! I love snow...
