Architectural Historian and Urban Culture Critic based in Montreal. Holding a PhD in Canadian History, she has spent 12 years curating heritage tours and analyzing urban development across Quebec City, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Sophie brings an academic yet accessible perspective to urban exploration, bridging the gap between historical facts and modern city vibes. She specializes in deconstructing architectural trends like "Vancouverism" and the evolution of heritage districts like Old Montreal and the Distillery District. Her expertise extends to the cultural nuances of dining in Kensington Market or navigating the cobblestone streets of Quebec City. Sophie is particularly passionate about correcting historical revisionism in tourism and helping visitors distinguish between tourist traps and authentic heritage sites. She writes for cultural travelers seeking depth beyond the postcard facade.
