I looked into studying French in Quebec city at a place called Edu-Inter and the price was $335 CDN ($255 USD) for a 20 hours/week program. My Spanish school in Bogota was $240/week back in 2012, so it likely went up, the prices are similar. I paid about $650 USD in today's exchange for a studio in Bogota, you could probably find something similarly priced in Quebec (check out the website Kijiji for rentals). You'll pay more for food and booze in Quebec, probably about twice as much but then again, it's the safest city in North America and you won't have to worry about getting drugged and robbed like you would in most Latin American cities, or Paris.
In fact, I took a course at Edu-Inter. The school was good and Quebec City is lovely. I recommend both for those interested in French language and culture. The people were laid back and pretty friendly. The two issues are the weather (though it's lovely in summer), and also that I want to do a bit more than study French intensively while I'm taking a class, like surfing lessons. It's a small complaint, though, and overall I agree that Quebec is a good option. I'm sure that I'll be back. Montreal is also a fantastic place. There's so much culture, good food, nice-looking people, and overall a feeling of relaxation and wellness that I don't find in the States. Quebec seems really a special place in some ways.

The cheapest place to learn french while also learning surfing is Brittany in France that's where I live A very famous surfing spot La torche beach is there. As for girls there is a hidden Gem The city of Lorient I went out there last week end it was full of hot girls I felt like I was in Kiev!
Thanks - I'll look into Brittany.
