After departing Europe, we’ve made our way to Montréal - a city built around food, culture and community. Each spring, families across Québec gather at sugar shacks to take part in the maple harvest, transforming sap into syrup and celebrating one of Canada’s most enduring symbols. It is this tradition that anchors our Montréal edition.
