Ah the preparation of the trip, a step not to be taken lightly because it takes time, a lot of time! To help us in all this trimmings, we have peeled French and Quebec travel blogs, from the best known to the least known. The website and forum of the Tourdumondist s helped us too. Lack of luck, no situation exactly matched us because we are neither French resident in France, nor Quebeckers Canadian citizens (in short, a kind of globalized alien). The details of the preparations that we will explain below are therefore valid for French, permanent residents of Quebec! (It does not seem so complicated at first but then ... what a headache)!
