Relaxing in Chambly, Canada, During August 2023
Tarnhelm Voyages - September 2023
Entering the Chambly Marina
We passed through 3 connected locks in Chambly and stayed at Marina Chambly.
View of the Marina
Chambly is lined with a lake walk. You can see the marina to the right of this section.
The Tarnhelm at a Dock
Here is Capt. Phil next to the bow of the Tarnhelm.

And here is Capt. Phil relaxing in our first dockage, with the stern of our boat facing a small island on the Chambly lake.
Floating Houseboats
Next to us were four "Maisons Flottanetes," which are houseboats turned into overnight guest cottages.
View of the Houseboats at Night
Visitors to the Maisons Flottanetes receive a number of different lake fun toys, plus spectacular evening views framed with holiday lights.
View Across the Chambly Lake at Night
Noteably seen at night is the St. Joseph of Chambly Catholic Church (Église Saint-Joseph-de-Chambly). All signs and names in Quebec are in French.
View of Fort Chambly National Historic Site in the Background
To the back/right of the Tarnhelp is the Fort Chambly National Historic Site (Lieu historique national du Fort-Chambly).
Fort Chambly National Historic Site
The Fort is a very large structure with beautiful grounds for strolling, picnics, and fishing. Inside is a museum.
Restaurants by Marina
By the marina are numerous restaurants, many of which serve beautifully prepared French foods (or, at least, French cooking). This little center had 3 restaurants with patios overlooking the lake. We ate several times at Cafe MJ et Cie.
High Water Flood
In the previous picture, the back porchs overlooked a sunken park and small boat marine area. 2023 was the year of massive flooding and the water still had not receded when we arrived.
Walkway Around Lake
Also behind those restaurants was walkway that ran around the city.
