If The City of Lights is on your travel bucket list, you’re certainly not alone but in this economy, travel might not be in the cards.

Up for a bit of a road trip? Those consumed by wanderlust can actually visit a replica of the iconic monument in a charming village called Montmartre, Saskatchewan, located 1 hour east of Regina.
