Oh, Montreal, it's a wonderful place!
I am kind of biased since I've been here for 15 years, but it's a lovely city and even a year in France didn't made my love flinch! There are so many amazing restaurants, bars, stores, little streets and architecture! You'll definitely like it if you miss Europe!
And you should drive 2 more hours and pay a visit @ Québec city...very nice even during the winter period!

Hope you have a great new year!!

As Pierre Tremblay says, you should definitely pay a visit to Quebec City, especially during the Winter Carnival that takes place in February. Much like Rio's, but minus 20 degrees ;-)
Also, did you know that sailing is a big thing in the western part of Montreal (so called the West Island), where you can drop the anchor around a nice sandbank, have a martini between to dips in the blue-green waters of Lake saint-Louis, all while looking at the city buildings in the distance. Spectacular! You should try by yourself next summer!
Montreal! Were here last year for vacation and visiting our family. Indeed, it has a great bars and restaurants. Most amazing things we, backpackers, experience was when we visit Basilica and Olympic stadium. I’ll stay tune for more photos!!
