Not interested in those strip clubs, I’ll be with my wife (expecting) and would want to sitesee those touristy places.

I don’t speak French either. Luckily I have a GPS that has English navigations, so reading those French signs is not an issue.

I guess my question is which one is more closer to Paris in look and feel - Montreal or QC?

Montreal is 2 hours drive from Ottawa and QC is 2 additional hours of drive from Montreal (Total 4+ hours from Ottawa) - So is the 2 hours worth of additional drive worth it?

I am from Montréal.

Montréal is quite far away in look and feel to Paris, so don’t set your expectations too high. In some parts of the city the architecture it is very similar to what you would get in older American cities like say, Boston or NY, with American fast-food chains and all.

Montreal is as much Paris as New York is London.

Thank you all for your awesome suggestions. I have booked my trip for Quebec City and will be staying in old city right next to Fairmont Le Château Frontenac.

Thanks (or should I say merci)!

If your expectant spouse likes chocolate and spectacular views, there is a little chocolate shop in the village of Ste P Ile d’Orleans

Ohfer****sakes, I wasn’t done yet… Anyway, there is the Chocolaterie de Ste Petronille in Ile d’Orleans. It’s on the southwest tip, right on the water with a beautiful view toward Quebec City.
