My name is François and I'm from the Montreal Area in Quebec.
My collecting interests are mostly Canada (mint, errors & varieties, cinderellas), but also anything related to EXUP or CAPEX philatelic exhibitions.
Very curions about everything related to philately, I believe this forum will be a great source of learning and sharing!
Happy collecting to all!

Welcome to TSF, François ( FDI)! It's great to have you with us. I am from the US, but currently living in the UK. I am a WW classic-era collector, but I have a special fondness for early Canada. I have visited Montreal a few times in my life, and I think it is a great city. I hope that I will have the chance to see it again one day. Je voudrais ajouter que je considère Montréal comme la capitale septentrionale de la francophonie, et pour ça, je l'adore! À bientôt, Chris ( Beryllium Guy)  |

Je voudrais ajouter que je considère Montréal comme la capitale septentrionale de la francophonie, et pour ça, je l'adore! Well, that's simply not nice for Québec City, but I won't quibble that point. Except to say that both Paris and Brussels lie north of Montreal... |

OK, Xavier ( hrdoktorx), serves me right, I suppose. I wasn't trying to offend anyone! I like Quebec City very much, but I loved Montreal.... so for me, it's the northern capital of French-speaking places! I should have known better than to let myself get emotional when making a post. I suppose that I have been cooped up way too long now, and my emotions have clouded my map-reading abilities! -Chris |

There's nothing like the real thing. But, this summer, might be complicated for travelling abroad.

We’ve visited both many times, but Quebec City more recently, so now it’s Montreal’s turn, staying in the Old Port area  |

gmot - even if I favour Québec to Montréal.....does not mean I do not like the big Métropole "Le vieux Montréal" has some of the best restaurants !! Enjoy ! cursus - not the right time to travel to Montréal as they are still "red" for covid 19, as I am sure you know........but in the future....enjoy, also ! René

I've already been to Montreal and Quebec, in 1990. Nowadays, I prefer driving my own car through West and Central Europe (France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria...). No need to cross the pond! I'm getting old.

René, I too spent five years in la Vielle Capital. Did my studies at Université Laval. I am very biased, I love Quebec. I do love Montreal as well. Get there often for day trips or weekend to enjoy some of the best food ever. David |
