Quebec City Excursions
Montmercy Falls
Montmorency Falls Park
Just to the east of Québec City lies the spectacular
Montmorency Falls, plunging 272 feet (83m), one and a half times
higher than Niagara Falls. Besides a beautiful setting, the park
also boasts historic buildings and a variety of fun activities. A
cable car runs up to the historic Manoir Montmorency manor house,
dating from 1781, where there is a restaurant, view terrace,
interpretation centre, reception rooms and boutiques. A suspension
bridge hangs directly across the falls, providing a breathtaking
view, and a second bridge gives access to the east side of the
falls where there are numerous viewpoints and trails.
