Fort Chambly National Historic Site

Fort Chambly sits on the shores of the Richelieu River, at the foot of the rapids in Chambly, in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. Built in 1711, this hulking stone sentinel used to guard New France against a possible British invasion. The fort has resisted turns in history and remains precious proof of France’s presence in North America. Restored by Parks Canada, the Fort Chambly National Historic Site contains exhibitions relating key moments in the history of New France. In addition to daily activities related to architecture, archaeology and life as a soldier, four weekends of special activities will be offered in July and August. NEW: The exciting Xplorers program, sure to spark the interest of children 6 to 11 years old.
