How about a trip to Canada Quebec

Quebec is massive, the size of Mongolia, or Iran, and while the vast majority of the province is virtually uninhabited due to the proliferation of lakes and rivers and bitter winter climates, the very far south sees 3 very distinct and very different cities, all of which straddle the mighty St Lawrence river. Ottawa, the nations capital, is a small(ish) city and is one renowned for its educational establishment and its arty culture (not dissimilar to Boston in the US). Montreal is more American in feel, despite its official language being French, and is often cited as the commercial, finance and technological capital of Canada, but has a significant music and arts scene. Quebec City is very French in look, culture and feel, and French is by the far the majority language spoken here. The areas surrounding QC are highly arable and intensively farmed during the summer months. All 3 cities are close enough to visit in a single trip and each bring their own rewards for doing so and let’s be honest, the 3.3m residents in these cities wouldn’t stay in these harsh climates if they didn’t love living here!
