This is much more than a guide; it’s a beautiful book, a work of discovery, and a compendium of history. The Richelieu River: Valley of Memories takes you on grand adventures and introduces you to the rich legacies of the Richelieu Valley. It is an indispensable resource for exploring the cultural reality and heritage landscape of the Montérégie region’s Richelieu River valley, informally known as the Vallée des Forts – a place whose history and geography have been central to the geopolitical, social, and economic evolution of Quebec and Canada.

Drawing its inspiration from another publication by Parks Canada (Montréal, a City Steeped in History), this heritage guide to the Richelieu identifies the tangible signs, physical landmarks, and official designations, classifications, and recognitions that are key characteristics of this stunning area’s public space: the picturesque villages and events associated with the Patriotes rebellions of 1837–1838, the magnificent historical structures such as Fort Chambly and the Rouville-Campbell Manor, and the historical figures like Ozias Leduc, Dorimène Desjardins, Saint Brother André, and Charles-Michel de Salaberry.
