You step out onto a cobbled lane as the city exhales — espresso steam from a corner café, the Saint Lawrence daring you with a slow-moving current in the distance. A white Tesla Model 3 (license plate K03 VHR) waits to whisk you between Old Montreal’s Gothic facades, a mural-splashed plateau, and the market stalls of Little Italy. The guide’s voice threads dates and anecdotes into the streets; the city feels like a map that remembers.
