Fort Chambly stands on the banks of the Richelieu River, at the foot of the Chambly Rapids. Dating from 1711, the structure of this imposing stone sentry draws inspiration from the French fortifications designed by Vauban. It protected New France from British attacks.
Fortunately, fort Chambly withstood the upheavals of the history of New France. It stands as an invaluable witness to the French presence in North America. Restored in 1983, exhibitions recounting key moments in New France are now presented within its walls.
