Chutes Montmorency

 
A bare 10 km (6 mi.) north of Québec the Montmorency River plunges over an 84 m (275 ft) high escarpment. Despite being 30 m (98 ft) higher than the Niagara Falls the Chutes Montmorency are not nearly so spectacular.

Trails with many fine views and attractive picnic places have been marked out in the vicinity of the Falls.

In the 1790s Maison Montmorency (also known as "Kent House") to the left of the Falls was a great favorite of the Duke of Kent (father of the Victoria who later became Queen). From the house there are particularly fine views.
