You take a seat in an 18th-century stone vault on Rue du Marché‑Champlain, the hush of Old Quebec folding around you as the headset seals off the present. The floor feels cool underfoot, distant street sounds dim, and the projection blooms — cobbled streets return, cannons rumble, and the St. Lawrence seems to push history forward like a bright current.
