I was hoping to travel east next year ..having never travelled east of Saskatchewan...(except to go to the east coast of the USA).
I have always wanted to go to Ottawa/Gatineau...as well as Montreal and maybe Quebec City and small towns around there.
What would your reccommend that i MUST see?
And how important is it to have a commanding knowledge of French. Will i be able to get by with limited usage? Keep in mind that i live in Alberta and was not blessed with mandatory french language classes in school. So i have jr high and high school french..but its been just as long since I've been in school, so my french at best is shaky.
Is it as big of a barrier when it comes to travel in la belle province?
