A great stop for us, from the excellent staff who were very polite and helpful. To learning about the history of the fort and the amazing lighthouse. We just walked around and took it all in, well worth a visit and inexpensive.

While staying in Saint Jean Sur Richelieu my wife and I decided to take a drive along the Richelieu River which was a very pleasant drive to Fort Chambly. The fort is situated on the Richelieu River and adjacent park. We had a really great time walking in and around the fort. The history and displays made it an enjoyable experience. The guides were helpful and polite and very knowledgeable. The fort and park is very well maintained and worth visiting if you have the time.

We arrived by ferry and it was a pleasant trip across the St. Lawrence River. Once there we were totally in awe of this beautiful and historic city. Firstly we walked along the boardwalk and around La Citadelle de Quebec to get a sense of the history. We then made our way back to Quartier Petit Champlain where we walked around took in more history and enjoyed looking at the beautiful buildings. Also a ride on the funicular between the upper and lower towns with views of the city is worth it. We then decided to have lunch, to many options. We decided to eat at Sapristi Champlain where we enjoyed a nice meal and several drinks. Overall we had a great time and we wish we could have stayed longer.
