Cultural Tips: Signs here are...
by Deus_ultima
Cultural Tips: Signs here are usually in French: Pont = Bridge, Rue = street,Arret = stop, etc. Speed limits are in KM/h, NOT MILES! Cops exept in school zones, usually won't stop you unless you ride 20km/h over the limit :) Also on most highways, you'll find that cops are pretty absent. In the city, you'll often see parked cars with nobody in it or the cop is doing god knows what.. Limit's are 100km on Highways, 70 on urban boulevards, 50 on normal roads and 30 in school zones.

by Deus_ultima
This basilica, downtown Sherbrooke is not only very impresive architecturally, but it's also just beside the old seminary and a few historical spots so It's not out of the way and once you park your car here, you can walk around and see a few nice things.

We have friend that lives in Magog, near Sherbrooke. It is not far from Montreal neither from the US borders. It is a very beautiful place; the lake and its beach are very popular. If you have time, you must visit Magog! I borrowed this picture until I can find one of mine...
