Hi everyone.
I'm a student currently living in Vancouver, and I'm leaving tomorrow to spend 5 weeks in Jonquiere! I'm doing this program through the college there where I'll be living with a family and taking French classes during the day. I'm really excited to be learning more about the Quebecois culture and brushing up on my French.

I do have some questions though. I'll be staying in Jonquiere the entire time, but from what I've understood it's really close to Chicoutimi? Coming from a big city, I have no idea what to expect.

What's it like in Jonquiere/Chicoutimi with regards to entertainment and bars/clubs/liquor stores?

I'll be turning 18 about 3 weeks into my stay in Jonquiere, but I'd like to have some fun when I get there as well. Is it easy to buy drinks/get into bars in Jonquiere (since it sounds like such a small town..?)

Thanks for ALL your help!!!
