The puzzle pictured
below is the 40th Cobble Hill puzzle I have had the pleasure of
putting together. It is a 1000 piece puzzle titled French Village. The reason I
chose to spend the time and energy to put it together is because it reminded me
of a French speaking town that I have visited several times, Quebec City,
Quebec.
The puzzle has an open archway that leads to a body of water and Quebec City sits on the inlet of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. You are able to see the water as you traverse through some of the streets in downtown Quebec City.

The puzzle has multiple hanging baskets of various flowers as does Quebec City. There is a cobblestone walkway in the puzzle and the city streets have similar cobblestones. Below is a picture I took while visiting downtown Quebec City.

The primary language spoken in Quebec City is French and the shops, cafes and the entire town has the look of an authentic French town. While you are walking along the cobblestone streets for the most part, you will hear the people speaking French fluently. The shop owners and Restaurateurs encourage their customers to speak French when they order food in their restaurants and cafes or when they are purchasing something from the shops along the streets.
The residents and elected officials of Quebec City have done a fabulous job recreating a French village town in Quebec City.
