If you stay only 48 hours, you may only have time to visit Montreal.  Here
some suggestions:
-Park in Old Montreal at the "Old Clock" parking.  Close to our IMAX
theatre.  From there you can walk to the heart towns.
-Camping on the south shore.  If you are lucky you will have a site (First
come first serve) on the St-Laurence river with a nice view of Down Town at
night
-Nice walk to see Montreal region:  St-Hilaire Park.  30 minutes south of
Mtl
-Iles Ste-Helene:  F1 race track, casino, nice walking and Mtl view
Have fun.

Hi Al,

I'll second what Doug said... Trying to speak *some* french will indeed
help to get the local's sympathy. And Quebec city has some gorgeous
400-year-old architecture that shouldn't be missed. We toured the
citadel and the old town in 1977 and it was amazing.

Happy trails,
