History and architecture
Guided tour of the stone fort
Fort Chambly was erected in 1711 to protect the French colony from possible British invasion. Why is it erected in Chambly? Who were the soldiers who built it? What are the characteristics of this defensive structure? And how were we living inside this fortification?
Discover these different aspects with a guide.
Outdoor activity: canceled in case of rain.
Uniform demonstration
To wear the uniform was to be in the service of the King. But how did you become a soldier in France in the 17th and 18th centuries? And what life awaited those who crossed the Atlantic?
Will you earn the privilege of wearing the uniform... without the inconveniences of a soldier's life? This activity is participatory.

The Xplorers program is dedicated to children visiting Parks Canada sites with their families. At Fort-Chambly, the Xplorers booklet takes the children on a hunt for clues, which are hidden in the exhibition rooms. Memorize the clues and find the secret password at the end to obtain a reward. Good luck!
