Montmorency Falls November & December

---

The waterfalls were named after the Duke of Montmorency in his honor by Samuel de Champlain in 1613. The falls is a natural formation where the Montmorency River cascades over the rock face to join the St. Lawrence River downstream. An interesting fact about this waterfall is that it is higher than Niagara Falls.

Sam is a great story teller as we passed the remnants of the military trenches set up by the British in 1759. We listened our two young lovers, Louis, and Mathilde during the time of the war were set to be married. Louis who was in the military was killed in a battle near the falls. Mathilde who was overcome with sadness put on her wedding gown and jumped off the falls. Ghostly encounters and sightings about a White Lady are reported even to this day by believers!

A great tour viewing the falls from above and below
