Speaking of tales, Gus Kuhn and his encounter with an errant flywheel is one for the books. Crossing over to Canada's Quebec City reveals breathtaking views from Chateau Frontenac Hotel and the Levis ferry on the St Lawrence River. As we explore further across borders, Dorothea Lange captures a gang of migratory carrot pullers in Imperial Valley, California in 1939 - reminding us of hard work and resilience. Back in Quebec City again but seen from Levis this time around; a ship gracefully stands as it dominates the foreground against picturesque scenery. Rue de Levis takes us all the way to Paris where it intersects with Rue Legendre - two streets intertwining cultures and histories.
