Steve Dumaresq

(Translated) We loved our trip in Fort Chambly, but even more the view of the Richelieu River in the park and the latter activity is free and beautiful. On the other hand, the park remains relatively small. It offers a discount, half price, for those who have the card opus for visiting the interior of the fort. (Original) Nous avons adoré notre balade dans le Fort-Chambly, mais encore plus la vue sur la rivière du richelieu dans le parc et cette dernière activité est gratuite et de toute beauté. Par contre, le parc reste relativement petit. Il offre un rabais, moitié prix, pour ceux qui ont la carte opus pour visité l'intérieur du fort.

Fort Chambly is a historic fort in La Vallée-du-Richelieu Regional County Municipality, Quebec. It is designated as a National Historic Site of Canada. Fort Chambly was formerly known as Fort St. Louis. It was part of a series of five fortifications built along the Richelieu River that were built to protect travellers on the river from the Iroquois. The region is informally known as la Vallée-des-Forts. Fort Chambly at the foot of the Chambly rapids on the Richelieu River in Quebec, Canada, was built by the French in 1711. It was the last of three forts to be built on the same site. The first — then called Fort Saint Louis — was constructed in 1665 by captain Jacques de Chambly, to protect New France from Iroquois attacks. After minor repairs, the fort was burned by the Indians in 1702, but was reconstructed the same year. By then it was already known as Fort Chambly. However, with the Great Peace of Montreal in 1701, the war between the French and Iroquois was over. Also at this time the War of the Spanish Succession broke out, and boiled over into the colonies of France and England. Thus, to defend against a more powerful European attack, including the threat of cannon fire, Governor Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil ordered that the fort be rebuilt in stone in 1709. The engineer responsible for the design and construction of the new fort was Josué Boisberthelot de Beaucours. He also oversaw major improvements carried out on the fort between 1718 and 1720, modifications he felt would greatly increase the fort's defenses. For many years Fort Chambly was the main footing of the defensive chain of fortifications along the Richelieu River, which was the easiest invasion route into New France. However, with the construction of Fort Saint-Frédéric (1731) and Fort Saint-Jean (Quebec) (1748) further south, Fort Chambly lost most of its defensive purpose and so was converted into a warehouse and rally-point for soldiers, although the fort was never abandoned. With the Seven Years' War, Fort Chambly was re-fortified and reoccupied, although it failed to stop the British from approaching Montreal and Quebec City. The substantial stone structure which still stands today was lost to the British in 1760 in The Conquest of New France, also known as the French and Indian War. Captured by American forces on October 20, 1775 during the American Invasion of Canada of 1775–76, it was held until the spring of 1776 when it was evacuated and burned, as the Americans retreated southward to Fort Ticonderoga. Subsequently, prisoners-of-war from the Continental Army, including Colonel William Stacy, were held at Fort Chambly until the end of the American Revolutionary War. After the Fenian Raids in the 1860s, during which the fort was reoccupied, it was allowed to fall into ruin. In 1881 a citizen of Chambly, Joseph-Octave Dion, personally repaired and restored the site. In the 20th century the Canadian government recognized Fort Chambly's cultural and historical worth and undertook its maintenance. Between 1965 and 1985 extensive archaeological digs were carried out, and today a fully reconstructed version of the final phase of Fort Chambly (1718–1720) is maintained by Parks Canada and is open to the public as the Fort Chambly National Historic Site of Canada.

Not many military forts have that. There’s a free parking. Entrance fees of 7,50$/adults. Seniors have a rebate.

JF Berthiaume

(Translated) Always interesting to visit a historical place. If I may allow myself a constructive comment. I had the chance to visit the National Historic Site of the Battle of the Restigouche, when entering the exhibition site, care was taken to put me in context and explain the main points to me. For kids who can't read, I thought it was great! So perhaps consider implementing such an approach. (Original) Toujours intéressant visiter un lieu historique. Si je peux me permettre un commentaire constructif. J’ai eu la chance de visiter le lieu historique national de l bataille de la restigouche, en entrant au lieu d’exposition on a pris soins de me mettre en contexte et m’expliquer les grandes lignes. Pour les enfants qui ne savent pas lire, j’ai trouvé ca génial! Alors peut-être songer à mettre en place une pareille approche.

The fortress itself might not be an extra ordinery building but the town of chambly has a lot of interesting sites and you can have a lot of fun. Honestly I didn't expect this visit to be as magnificent. But besides all water sports and boat rentals on the river, you can have a walk all the way through the main street of chambly with many bars and restaurants and at the same time you have the perfect landscape of "bassin de chambly". Something intreresting about the fortress was that it has been used for defense against first nations, British army and then US army in different periods of history.

(Translated) I love this place I have been on several occasions and it is excellent to spend an afternoon with family or friends and do a pique-nique, kayak, meditate or ride a bike. I love to kayak in this place because the view is wonderful, I recommend it! There is a large park that overlooks the river and inside it has a national park to get to know the fort, where they explain and publicize part of the history and culture of the city. Also for the 150 years of Canada it is free to enter that park and all nationals (Original) Me encanta este lugar he ido en varias oportunidades y es excelente para pasar una tarde en familia o amigos y hacer un pique-nique, hacer kayak, meditar o andar en bici. Amo hacer kayak en este sitio porque la vista es maravillosa, se los recomiendo!. Hay un parque amplio que tiene vista al río y dentro tiene un parque nacional para conocer el fuerte, donde explican y dar a conocer parte de la historia y la cultura de la ciudad. Ademas por los 150 años de Canada es gratis entrar a ese parque y a todos los nacionales

Discovering Destinations

Where: Fort Chambly What: A historical fort, similar to Old Fort Henry just smaller and cheaper. How was it: We stumbled upon this place after having breakfast at Dame Tartine. As we approached the water front, we got a closer look and noticed that we could enter for a very reasonable price. We spent roughly $12 between the two of us. It doesn't look big from the outside but once you're in, it's quite surprising. It's a good place to go with kids and there's some interaction as you walk through. There is also a timed information session with a guide that we were fortunate to assist. Grade: Eli = 4, Serge = 4+ Recommend: Yes, it's very affordable and a nice place to visit if you are in the area.

(Translated) Despite the fact that the fort was closed and the promenade is really beautiful and well laid out. A place to visit during the summer because the river and the lake gives it a beautiful and magnificent view. Far from noise and harmful attractions it is a very well preserved historical place.

Gilles Grandchamp

Super place to visit .

Guillaume Boisvert

(Translated) Today I visited Fort Chambly for a second time! I went to see this fort in the time when it still looked like a period fort and you could feel the soul of the battle and the war trials linked to this magnificent fort What I saw today made me think of a daycare center. It is much too renovated and it takes away all the magic of a period fort. I do not recommend this fort if you want to see the history and the traces it has left because there is no more. Guillaume Boisvert (Original) Aujourd'hui j'ai visité le Fort Chambly pour une deuxième fois! Je suis allé voir ce fort dans le temps où il ressemblait encore à un fort d'époque et qu'on pouvait ressentir l'âme de la bataille et les épreuves de guerre liées à ce manifique fort Ce que j'ai vu aujourd'hui me fesait plutôt penser à une garderie. C'est beaucoup trop rénové et ça enlève toute la magie d'un fort d'époque. Je ne vous conseille pas ce fort si vous souhaitez voir l'histoire et les traces qu'il a laissé car il n'y en a plus.
