La Chute de Montmorency

La Chute de Montmorency

Today we were visitting the waterfall La Chute de Montmorency, we were a bit tired today because we were exploring the night life of Quebec last night. When we arrived, it was a sunny day but there was strong wind. I only had a thin jacket on so I was not suited for this trip. My teacher lent me her hat so I wouldn't freeze entirely.

We first stopped at a pont near the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, it had a beautidul view over the river, because of the sun and the beautiful colourful nature. Later on we went through the park, there were leaves everywhere, the leaves were in the most fantastic fall colours.

We stopped at a location where the British General Wolfe had his troops in la guerre against the French. General Wolfe had the advantage, because he and his where on a higher location, so he could at anytime keep an eye on his enemy, and when they were going to attack. General Wolfe lost la bataille but they won la guerre.

 Afterwards we came to a brigde where we could se the Chute from above. It was a very windy and cold view but very nice. We got to see la chute from different angles. Our teacher told us that Chute de Montmorency is 30 meters higher than Niagara Falls but not widere. 

 We later went to some stairs, so we could get closer to la chute. It didn't take long before we were few meters from la chute. There was a pretty rainbow close to the fall, such a fantastic view. We wanted to take a group photo but la chute splashed water at us, so our cameras became a little wet. When we had seen la chute, we wanted to go back, but we had to decide if we wanted to pay for  l'ascenseur or take the stairs. One ride with l'ascenseur was 8 CAD and that was way too expensive. So we took the stairs. It was very hard, I'm in a very bad shape so this took very long time for me to climp these stairs! I was so tired, when I made the top. Later we would like to see a Centre d'achat.
