Montreal is a good place to party, Quebec is very historical. I love Montreal but Quebec gets my vote. Quebec city is very European, and it's a world heritage site. Old Quebec is awsome, cobble stone roads, horse and carriage. But it's expensive if you dont plan right.

Québec city is great! Rants prices lower than Montréal and you'll learn French in 2 months. But they don't benefit from the Metro like Montréal does. You can live everywhere in the suburban areas in Montréal a get to destination with buses, metro and trains, advantageous for studens without car. Students have cheap prices.

Euhh.. perso je vais toujours à Montréal, normal j'habite à 30 minutes de Montréal, mais Québec est beaucoup plus beau, c'est pareil, du moins presque, comme la ville de Paris et les gens sont beaucoup moins «sauvages»! Mais c'est vrai que c'est très dispendieux à Québec alors si l'argent n'est pas ton truc, va à Montréal!

peut-etre "continue avec tes avis" est mieux
aussi peut-etre vos avis est mieux....en anglais on utilise "you" comme "on" pour les choses qui sont pluriel.
And we would say...."What did you want to say?", not "What did you want to tell?". English is bizarre like that, really they both mean the same thing, but we would never use tell like that. We only use "to tell" when you are going to say something to someone. Like Tell me, tell him, he told her....etc....
but you can use "to say" anytime....I think....like I said, he said, I meant to say, I want to say, I said to him.....etc.......
It's hard in the same way it is hard for us to learn the difference between savoir and connaitre....in fact thats a great example....

Quoting
But: Gardez venir d'avis.. means nothing..
what did u want to tell?
If you translate it literally to english it sort of makes sense. I think he/she meant "Keep your opinions coming".......but I don't think you use the verb "garder" the same way in french as we use "to keep" in english....I'm not an expert on french though..... Quoting
Merci beaucoup is right...
Merci beaucoup. Gardez venir d'avis. (I hope that's right).

My wife and I were in both cities last year. I would have to pick Montreal for just about everything. Good restaurants, food markets, entertainment, etc. Everyone should visit Quebec but if your time is limited, save most of your time for Montreal.
