HoYoverse I: Prologue Prelude

Challenge: You stumble upon a thread that claims to have uncovered the address of HoYoverse's secret headquarters. As you eagerly click on the link, you're greeted with an image of a bustling city street. Find the address of the exact location where this image was taken.

We're given an image: OSINT.png, and straight away notice some useful text on the side of the building to search on: "111" "Tarification" "robert" bour...

A quick Google search on these words found the building on the first Google page: 111 St Duke, Montréal, QC H3C 2M1 - Cité Multimédia

So, go to Google Maps and enter the address, and find the corner where the photo was taken. Unfortunately the flag failed first time for me, I got the address as "802 Rue Ottawa". When this failed, I wandered round a bit more, then looked again and this time got "802 Ottawa St". This English version was correct.
