I have finally done my homework. Wow, it’s unbelievable ?!?
I suggest you to go to Canada and Quebec, a country with many differents landscapes and cultures. It may be cold and you have to buy very hot clothes and LOVE snow, but winter there czn be a good experience...
As I'm a bad student, I have to move your vacation 1 week later, from the 13th of January till the 30rd of January. Sorry for you and your friend ...

At Toronto, take a bus and go to your hotel "The Sutton place" in the center of Toronto ( http://fr.hotels.com/hotel/details.html?reviewOrder=date_newest_first&asaReport=Hotel+Details%3A%3ANoSuggest&roomno=1&departureDate=15-01-2011&destinationId=1636865&rooms[0].numberOfAdults=2&tab=description&arrivalDate=13-01-2011&hotelId=273353&validate=false&destination=Toronto%2C+Ontario%2C+Canada ).

You will go at the Beauport lake, near Québec, where you will try dog sledding ride, snowmobile and sleep in an igloo and a prospector’s camp during 3 nights (http://www.pourvoiriedulacbeauport.com/traineau_chiens_e.html) ! Then I let you return to Québec for the night and sleep in a real bed at the bed and breakfast.
Day 11 (23th) - Québec/St-Roch-des-Aulnaies
Llet’s go to Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies with bus (http://www.espacebus.ca/fr/se-deplacer/recherche-de-trajet.aspx), where you will visit « La Seigneurie des Aulnaies », the most important center of the lordly government in Québec.

You don’t know Rimouski ? It’s an important oceanographic center where you will visit the historic maritime site of Pointe-au-Père (http://www.shmp.qc.ca/index.php?lang=en). Come aboard the ONONDAGA submarine, which was in operation from 1967 to 2000. In addition, by visiting the Empress of Ireland Pavilion, you will learn all about the terrible tragedy that took the lives of 1012 people in 1914: One of the worst maritime disasters in the history of the world, one that — in terms of sheer horror — exceeds the sinking of the Titanic, occurred on the Saint Lawrence River. Finally, you will visit the naut lighthouse of Pointe-au-Père and his mechanism. You will finish your day sleeping on board of the Onondaga. I hope you’re not claustrophobic…
Days 13-15 (25th and 27th) - Rimouski/Percé
It will be a very long trip but you could admire panoramas. At Percé, you could walk in this little fishermen village. You will sleep at the bed and breakfast La Rêvasse, a typical old house near the famous tapped rock, where you will stay two days in order to discover the park with the owners of the B and B (http://www.revasse.com/revassea.html).
Day 17 (28th) - Percé/Montréal
The 27th, you will sleep in the train in direction of Montreal (https://reservia.viarail.ca/search/tripreview.aspx). Arrival at 9h30, go to the hotel to put your luggages. You have a very good hotel for these last days in the old Montreal (http://www.tourisme-montreal.org/Hebergements/le-place-d-armes-hotel-et-suites) : The Place d’Arme.
During the day you can visit the city : if you like skatting you can go to the park Jean Drapeau where snowparty is seted up until February (http://www.tourisme-montreal.org/Decouvrez-montreal/Incontournables/plein-air-hivernal-a-montreal). You can also visit the Notre-Dame basilic, the Jacques-Cartier square and eat near the old harbor.

Take the navet for the airport (http://www.admtl.com/Passagers/AccesEtStationnement/AutobusSTM.aspx) and return in France with an escale at Toronto. Departure on afternoon. Arrival at CDG the Sunday morning.
You will see I haven’t use all your money, but you have to pay breakfasts, lunchs and dinners, to buy gifts and travel books in order to walk in the cities. And it’s cool to improvise during vacation no ? I think I have done a lot of mistakes but have a nice trip !
