+wandererrob Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi all from your southern neighbors We're going to be in Quebec this weekend and wanted to do a cache or 3 while we're in the area. Thus far I've found very few English cache listings. Can anybody recommend a few to us? Thanks, Rob p.s. or even one in fairly basic French as my girlfriend and a friend of ours know some French.

+Girls Phind Squirrels Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We did a few this summer. We didn't worry about translation- and still managed to find everyone we looked for--although you could copy the text from the cache page into one of the online translation tools. They're not great but will give you an idea Quote Link to comment
+Galaad Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Bonjour dans la belle province! Any owner would be more than happy to translate his cache description for you. You can also ask everybody's help on our forum, www.geocaching-qc.com. Feel free to post in English, mentioning which geocaches you wish to visit and someone will answer you right back.

+Galaad Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) And we're a happy bunch to geocache with so if you wish a guide, just say so on our forum. If you come this weekend, we are gathering for dinner: Quebec fete ses 5000 geocaches Edited January 25, 2007 by Galaad Quote Link to comment
+The red-haired witch Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We're going to be in Quebec this weekend and wanted to do a cache or 3 while we're in the area. Thus far I've found very few English cache listings. Can anybody recommend a few to us? Where exactly do you plan to cache? Quebec is a pretty big province You might want to narrow the area a bit for suggestions... If you are visiting the Outaouais region, there are lots of English and bilingual cache listings, since we are so close to Ontario, and I could certainly suggest a few good ones. If you are visiting Montreal, as Galaad said, there is a big event to visit, with both English and French speaking cachers, and there are also quite a few bilingual listings in this city I believe. I'm sure people from other regions also have suggestions, just tell us where you are going Quote Link to comment
+AV Dezign Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Where exactly do you plan to cache? Quebec is a pretty big province You might want to narrow the area a bit for suggestions... We here like to say that as a joke to people from Texas... "Texas hey? The State so big you can fit three of them in this province..." Quote Link to comment
+LeGodFather Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) I, myself, translated a cache listing that was on my watchlist because an English speaking person ask for one (glad it was a short one ) Just tell us where you are going!!! Montréal? Québec City? It would help us help you! Edit: forgot the link Edited January 26, 2007 by GrosseFamille Quote Link to comment
+wandererrob Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 ha ha ha, should've said Quebec City. I keep forgetting that's like saying I'll be in New York. LOL! Anyway, only had time to snag a virtual (GCHKWJ) while at Carnaval, but I loved the city and would lke to return sometime. If you knew me you'd understand just how big a compliment to Quebec that is. I wish I'd thought to check back before we went, it would've been fun to meet some of our northern caching brethren. But I think we will be back, both for Carnaval (this was my girlfriend's second time, my first) and we'd like to come back in warmer weather to roam the city more comfortably and take more pictures. Thanks for all your help folks! Quote Link to comment
+LeGodFather Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Glad you enjoyed your trip and the Carnaval. Did you get to meet the mascot? Quote Link to comment
Kallipearl Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi, I'm a CBC Journalist based in Montreal and I'm looking for English-speaking people in the Montreal area who would be willing to be part of a radio stoary about geocaching. Please contact me at kallipearl@yahoo.ca or at 514-597-4484 if you're interested! Thanks, Kalli Quote Link to comment
