I have said for a long time that the old town in Quebec city is a poor man's trip to Europe. They speak French, but the people in the service industry all speak English as well. The culture is clearly derived from France, but they are proud of their own history. The walled part of the city is very much like being in an old Eurpean town. If that is what you are looking for make sure to stay in that part of town. The Frontenac is a great place to stay if you are looking for atmosphere and if it is in your budget.
I went for Christmas a few years back and it was wonderful. We took a walking tour of the city. The boardwalk at the top of the cliff was covered in snow and you could buy maple syrup that was poured over snow and you rolled up on tounge depressors. We ate at both French and Italian places that were wonderful.
