Quebec City's industry is tourism; lots to visit. I would recommend taking one of the city tours early in your visit, they cover all the places of interest. It will provide some insight into what you might want to see in more detail.
Language has never been an issue in Quebec City, they actually use more English than Montreal. Enjoy the history and culture.
Am in Lunenburg, NS right now and heading to Sydney and then PEI. Am guessing I'll get to QC somewhere around the 1st of July and from there I'd like to visit Montreal. When we used to use the RV parks in Naples, we often would have fellow campers in the resort that were from the Prov of Quebec and I'm not sure I ever heard any speak anything but French - even "good morning" so I'm a little nervous about my total inability to speak French and getting by in Montreal.
I'm planning to either return to the US via Sault Ste Marie or head around the north side of Lake Superior and return via MN. Advice anyone?
No need to be nervous. It's just a language and the people speaking it are great. Quite honestly, Quebec city is my favourite city in Canada, Hands down. I speak french (as a second language) but have found Quebec city to be an amazingly multicultural city. Spanish is often heard as well Arabic and hindi. Just an amazing place to visit and get lost in the culture. You can spend a week there and never see a tenth of it. Most in the service industry will speak english so no worries.
Happy trails and enjoy Quebec.
