Les Chutes Montmorency are a set of beautiful waterfalls flowing into the St. Lawrence River from the Montmorency River. They are located right outside of Quebec City in Le Parc de la Chute-Montmorency. These waterfalls are larger than the famous Niagra Falls and stand to be eighty three meters high. A staircase allows the waterfall’s visitors to view it at many different angles, and a suspension bridge is located over the falls from one side of the park to the other. A cable car running from the bottom to the top of the falls allows visitors to take a closer look at these amazing falls. In the winter, les Chutes Montmorency freeze to solid ice and are a popular site for ice climbing. Les Chutes Montmorency were named in 1613 after Henri II, the Duke of Montmorency.
