They come in high-powered convertibles, with cameras and curiosity, to look at French Canada and French-Canadians. Their usual objective is Québec City, where they can soak up a bit of French culture without a trip to France. With an eye for humour, this film shows the people of Québec taking a look at American tourists who have come to Québec to take a look at them.
