We (doubleplus and myself) highly, highly recommend Quebec City.
It is the medieval walled city that is still in use in North American (the walled part of St. Augustine is not lived in).
Quebec City is like being in Brittany/Normandy. Most people speak a little English, but the main language is French, and every is VERY friend.
The food is AMAZING. The history so important from world history pov(let alone North American history).
And if you go in the summer, Wendake, the Huron village has great stuff going on, including tours, living history and depending on the evening, a show. And a museum. Wendake is about 25 minutes (max) from Quebec City and we rented a car for the day.
There is a beautiful waterfall which is higher (but not wider) than Nigaria. (sorry, spellling?) that is also about 30 minutes outside of Quebec City. There are tour buses.
I could go on & on about it. Let me know if you want more info. I'd be happy to send you stuff.
If do you do, be sure to say in the historic area. Which is big, because it is a city. :-)
