Thanks for watching the video and all the love. 🤍 We can't wait to go back and spend more time in Québec! Subscribe to this channel for more travel stories and joy. 😆

You should make the trip to Quebec city. You will be amazed how European it feels in the old part. Your prononciation is better than most English speaking Canadian ;)

Yout first bonjour at 1:20 was just perfect! Thats the accent!

Hi from Quebec ciry. I spent a night à l'auberge de la chocolatière two years ago. Extra cosy, more than the restaurant, not expensive and a fantastic terrace enclosed by the building on one side and cedar trees about 12 foot high on the others. In winter, there is a home made fish & chips kiosk right near the auberge and they are tastefull and extra crispy. But come on, you only dip a part of one toe on two border cities who are mainly english (as are pretty much all border cities in Quebec). Spend a night at the chocolatière and then two hours road to come in Quebec city. There, you will have the real experience in 100% french. Many will understand and answer you in english, you will be welcome.

Les Cantons de l'Est is where I was born and raised. If you're gonna take a day drive up to Canada, that was a very good place to start. Next time, take the extra few hours and drive along the northern shore of the St Lawrence River and visit La Ville de Québec. The Autoroute is on the south shore, and would cut the trip by over an hour, but it's just a boring highway, so don't. The northern shore is among the more beautiful drives in North America. At 400 years old, Québec City is older than either of our countries and is easily THE most beautiful city on the continent. But, go in summer, it looked like Alexa was shivering.

thank you for visiting us!!your bonjour at the beginning was perfect!!!and the legerement salées was hilarious!!!

Actually your french prononciation is not bad at all ! Vous êtes les bienvenue quand vous voulez !

You are the kind of tourists we like here in Quebec! Nice people who are interested in what makes us different and proud! We're just on the other side of the border, but you could see instantly that we have a different culture and language than you, and you not only respected that, but even enjoyed it! Come back any time! Maybe you'd like to try some of our traditional dishes, such poutine? Come to a summer festival to hear our French musicians and partake in the festive ambiance?

Blessings to my screen for being graced with such high-quality and entertaining content.

Positive people are welcomed any time ! ❤

You guys are so adorable.I live in the Eastern Townships and woke up this morning to a -42 celcius. You didn't experience cold!!

You guys are great. Canadians and Quebecois don't feel that they exist on the map which is why we're so appreciative when you come here to visit!

Stanstead. The Eastern Townships were at one time predominantly English speaking as land was given to UEL to settle. Over time the English left, the area reverting to French. There are about 20 or so pockets of English speaking communities remaining.

To be fair, your first bonjour was pretty accurate, maybe just a little enthusiastic, but who could blame you ? 😄

Thank you for visiting Canada glad you had fun. As a home sick Canadian living abroad thanks. Come back.

Wow you guys seems so nice too ! It's easy being nice to people who are as happy as you ! Come back anytime 😌

The joy of this video is next level. Come to Québec city next trip!

On your next trip to the province of Quebec if you love forest/lakes/mountains please visit the Laurentians regions Bonne journée à vous

The stop panel should say “Arrêt Stop” because only in Quebec those signs are bilingual.

You are so cute. Welcome to Québec. Vous êtes tellement cute Bienvenue au Québec. 🤗🌹👍❤️

Contente que vous ayez aimés Québec :) glad you liked Québec

Im from Québec and i can tell you your accent is pretty spot on!!!! love it

Lived in Sherbrooke all my life. I spent countless afternoons reading on the shores of Lac Massawippi (this is the lake in North Hatley). You actually visited this town at the best time: when it's not jam-packed with tourists (would have been great with a little bit of sun though). I absolutely love the Eastern Townships (Canton-de-l'Est) and know it like the back of my hand. There are many hidden gems, away from tourists (still). It's a really specific place in Québec that you will not find anywhere else. And you will not find it in the rest of Canada either. A mix of english colonial scenery, architecture and history (this is the only place in Québec where the land is divided in townships) with specific french atmosphere. If you go anywhere in Québec outside of the Eastern Township (in rural areas), you're in for more changes in the scenery. Montréal is way overrated. There are great places in Montréal, but a lot of people there are just... Especially since Covid, there is a strong opinion between many people at least here in the region that Montrealers just think they "own the place" wherever they go - I'm guessing this is shared amongst many elsewhere also. The best places outside of the Eastern Townships (for me) would be l'Isle-aux-Coudres and the northern parts of Charlevoix (Rivière-Malbaie). It feels like you're in Norway up there. I wish I could add l'Île d'Anticosti and the Kuururjuaq national park to this list.

Your M&M's are actually like our Smarties which are older! LOL!

I live in the Eastern Townships, I'm Quebecer! Been to North Hatley too, yes French is the only official language of the place, some of us like me are bilingual though elderly people do not speak the language. I have been to this chocolaterie! You pronounce "shock-o-lah-tuh-ree". We rented a pedalo and strolled on the lake.

You should come to Montreal, the canadian capital of culture, architecture, history, design , fashion , high technology , festivals and nest food and night life in Canada . Montreal is a european style city, a mix of London, Paris and New York .. We love nice americans like you ..

Merci pour votre belle vidéo ❤

The towns in the eastern townships were mostly founded by British loyalists who fought against the Americans during the Revolutionary war. They were forced out of the USA and had to relocate to the Province of Québec. The crown gave them lands between the border and Montreal and they started up from scratch, having lost everything. The townships are beautiful. My wife my sons and I went zip lining and tree climbing in Stanstead many years ago. We also went to North Hatley one summer day for a picnic. There was a band in the town gazeebo giving a free concert. Afterwards we went peddle boating on the lake. We had better weather both days than you did.

Bonjour.

A fun random road trip. Love it. Come up again someday.

i took so many picture there at north hatley ! mazing place i hope you had an amazing trip !

1:43 It’s a centuries old system based on agriculture and practical measurements. Technically used by most people (but everyone had their own foot, gallon etc. Feet - self explanatory Acre - The average distance of a days work for an Ox to plough a field. Fluid ounce - when there is enough water to weigh an ounce Thinks of that sort. The metric system was invented by the French right after the revolution 1790s and it just got popular. Quebec was the most resistant to the change. Just talk to Canadians and you’ll see how we use measurements. You might even see it on customizable signs. Do your speedometres not convert? Liberia and Myanmar still use the old system so you’re not alone and some other countries use traditional units in certain circumstances whilst being a metric country still. Metric units for some reason don’t sound good in songs. Places like Palau and Bahamas use metric system or both as well. But use Fahrenheit United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland use English Units for road signs. Have metric only signs is technically illegal but 1 exists that I know of. Petroleum is sold by the litre like Canada but fuel economy is measured in in miles per gallon. In Canada it’s measured by Liters per 100 kilometers. Not all countries do it like that though. Canadian Gas stations that sell by the gallon are as rare as selling it by the liter in the states. In 1842 is memory serves it could be 1824. 48 or 66 years after American independence the Brit’s changed 16 liquid ounces a pint to 20 liq oz/pt There fore 4uk quarts to make a gallon is 5us quarts. Canada followed suit however in the 60s and 70s the final days before centigrade and metrification, things like Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola bottles would display as 16 OZ (1 PT) probably because it’s American made?????? But still the gallon was different

When I cycle toured through the small towns along old highway on the south shore of the St Lawrence it was one of the nicest places I've ever been, both the land and the people. If I spoke French with any fluency I probably would have moved there.

You really did have a short trip. Barely scratched the surface. Glad you had a good time.

Cute video. Love short road trips too. North Hatley is busier in the summer. You must stay longer next time! 😊

Bienvenue chez nous!

People were nice to you because they saw straight away you were good people!

You should go to my hometown Quebec city, so european, so beautiful!

You should visit Sherbrooke, it is a 20 minute drive from North Hatley and much bigger with lots of things to experience! An english side in Lennox and a french one in Sherbrooke, i'm sure you would love it! And Magog is lovely too!

Thanks for your video--nice visit, but you should stay longer next time, and maybe visit the bigger cities, Montreal & Québec City. We will welcome you the same way, even in biggeer cities. Have a nice day, both of you.

Québec, j'arrive !! ❤ C'est là que je veux vivre.

What's funny in this video, I feel exactly the same when I cross the border going to the USA. I am super excited and love traveling in your country. Tourist places and bakery shops are usually not cheap $$$, as a tourist, we know we pay a little bit more but it is fun!

Hi it’s me Anh Thu, your local companion in Saigon, Vietnam if you still remember😂 Your videos are well-edited and very informative as wellll😎 You two got a new loyal viewer right here kkk🥰

i liked your video and how you portrait our nice french province in that video, wish i could visit the US someday

For the highway speed! it says 100kmh but, everyone goes around 115kmh. Cops won't stop you unless you go over 120kmh!

Joshua.Thank you. profeessional - see ya!,

"Le grement salé" 🤣🤣🤣

You guys missed Hovey Manor in North Hatley.

Bienvenue au .....Québec

Welcome to canada..🎉 Love the country hate our politics...😢

I love this video

6:00 we have M&Ms too did you notice? Your smarties we call rockets if you didn’t see. 6:05 I- don’t agree. where did you read that?

In the word Arrêt the t is silent. Like many final consonnants.

The problem when you come to Quebec is that the language barrier can be a bit painful. We are delighted to welcome Americans, but not everyone knows how to speak English, or only has a basic understanding. However, once you form a friendship with a Quebecer, it's a whole different story, and that's where the magic happens. If you only visit the countryside, you will undoubtedly see beautiful things, but the people might be a bit more introverted, just like in your home country. It's similar to when you go to Mexico - some expression can help you forge connections with the locals. When I see people like you, I am really happy to see that there are curious Americans who are eager to live new experiences. :D P.S. I live close to the place you visited, Stanstead and Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley. There are still treasures you haven't seen yet.

6:23 Miss Vickies... Those are so good. 😋

Lots of English in eastern townships

hi from montreal ! i see that this video was uploaded sixmonths ago - but those videos are from fall right ? anyways you should come back in july ! - was also funny seeing you cross the border, i just did that a week ago 😊 also - just fyi - eastern townships are actually a pretty english area in rural quebec lol.

I hope and pray that youll visit Philippines one day, the Filipinos will be waiting for you.

i tough stop meant stop everywhere xD

At the end, it was the US border side. They wanted to take a picture of your license plate

Let me plan your next trip ; first, sleep at the hotel Le Concorde you will have a great view of the city for cheap, at the top of the building you will find the great restaurant called Ciel Bistro-Bar the whole restaurant spins slowly 360 degrees, then walk to old Quebec, only 15min away, see the old fortifications like, La Citadelle, the Château Frontenac is also very close.

Oh you crossed the border in Stanstead Québec! That’s where I grew up! My family still lives there! God’s country!

Your french is really not that bad! Your pronunciation is not perfect but it takes a little practice. XD ~ Otherwise, thank you for coming to visit a small piece of our country. We like that!

Next trip, Compton California!!!

I dont know if I understood correctly (probably not) ... there's no chocolatine in USA?!!?!? 😱

cool video cuts and editing, nice couple :) youre welcome anytime

Trust me, as long as we have our hockey, our Molson, and our Tim Hortons, all is right with the world.

??? The Eastern Townships look just like Vermont...

Was this filmed in november, I mean the trees still have leaves and colors? 😀

J'adore 🤘

Légèrement: lay-gè(g is soft)-re-ment(t is silent) 😉

Canadian border patrol are da best ! For us canadian citizen it goes : He: hi how you doin? Me : Im really glad to come home, heres my passport. He : thanks, alright anything to declare ? (Means did you buy things that you might need to pay canadian taxes on damnit !) Me : nope, again, just glad to be home ! He : well welcome back and have a good one. Me :

You actually visited the english side of Québec

I wonder whether Quebecois cross the border into the USA and say ' it feels like stepping into Europe .... everything is in English just like England? ''They have sandwiches ..... takes me right back to London ...... where sandwiches come from!'

The thing is you are the only one who are not using the metric system but imperial

I don't think that Canadians are particularly nice, it's just that there's too many assholes in US 🙂 But I must say you guys looked like nice people! Thanks for visiting!

Cute but dead If u can in the summer go at Magog. Same border!! But not dead(summer time) Peace

So I gather the US customs guy wasn't as cheerful as the Canadian one?

You guys are welcomed back anytime to give us your hard earned american money mwha ha ha Seriously, you guys seem great and you would love a longer stay, believe me

Quebecois are not Canadians! How many times do people will have to say it!!!! We're not similar!

Quebec winter carnival

CANADA!!

Just to let you know. It's forbidden to hold a cellphone and drive here in Québec. Next time, Alexa should film. Not sure you would find us so nice if you get a ticket.

Alexa, why is it everytime Josh spoke you appeared visibly annoyed ?

you should come in summer

"Québec", not "QWebec". Other than that, nice video.

pouce bleu :D

Ici, c'est le Québec

i dont know,,,, STOP is pretty clear

Québec is Québec... not Canada

You are typically Usanians in your reactions.

Quebec libre

They were nice because you went to Quebec. In western Canada, it's a different story.

hi! love your video and it's fun to know how you see us! but you should know that the metric system is the system that the whole world has adopted! only the UNITED STATES kept the imperial system and refused to conform to it.

You went to the wrong province to determine whether or not Canadians are nice. Too many arrogant people here in Quebec, speaking from personal experience.

Next time, try some poutine.

Second largest country in the world and you only spend two hours? Should have spent more time. Come to Alberta,

When crossing in the the paranoia its now like going to Russia.

Québec is not Canada😂 You'll know if you live here

Too funny, I'm from Manitoba and we took a road trip to Prince Edward Island so, of course, spent a few days exploring Quebec along the way. We loved Quebec City, Montreal, and Mont Tremblant but on our excursions in the countryside, people didn't speak any English! Like none, young and older people we spoke to, or tried to speak to at mountain bike rental area in Valle Bras du Nord, and gas stations, restaurants, and nightclubs in the countryside. We were shocked. The vast majority of Canadians speak English and of course the US too. So they really are in their little bubble. Singing English songs, they don't know what they're singing, again shocked!
