Trillium Airborne Logistics and St. Hubert Flying School rent aircraft. Both are based at Saint Hubert Airport (CYHU), 14 NM east of Dorval-Montreal International Airport, (CYUL). Dry rental rate for a 150-hp Cessna 172M is approximately $115 Canadian per hour. Tax NOT included. Yes, there are taxes. July weather to avoid are large thunderstorms with hail, (+TSRW +TSGR). Air Traffic Control in the province of Quebec is bi-lingual (Francophone). English is spoken outside of Quebec. French, (Quebecios francias), is spoken frequently in the province of New Brunswick, but English is predominant. You may find Quebecios in Canada a curious blend of accents and terms. It does not sound Parisian!

The Laurentian Mountains in autumn are gorgeous! Saint Jovite is pretty. Old Montreal and Quebec City are wonderful. Enjoy a Smoked Meat on Rye Bread at Schwartz's Deli (Schwartz's La Charcuterie Hebraique de Montreal). Fly to New York. New York State is the second largest wine producer in the U.S.A. (California being the number-one wine producer). See Niagara Falls from a boat or helicopter. If you are truly French, you can't help but be snobby about the Ontario's Wine Region around St. Catherines. Sample a glass of Ontario's "Ice Wine". Drive to Niagara-On-The-Lake. Fly to Ottawa/Gatineau. Ottawa is Canada's Capital City and hosts many museums, including the National Aviation and Science and Technology Museums. The National Arts Centre and the National Art Museum are a must see while in Ottawa. Ottawa is bi-lingual, mostly..

Stay at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa. Stay at the Chateau Frontenac when in Quebec City. Stay at The Place d'Armes or The Queen Elizabeth Hotel when in Montreal.
