Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, Regional park with 83-meter waterfall in Quebec City, Canada.
The Montmorency Falls cascade down a cliff face, reaching a height that exceeds Niagara Falls by 30 meters, creating powerful water flows year-round.
The park grounds contain structures from the 1800s, including the Manoir Montmorency, which served as a residence for British governors before becoming a public attraction.
The Manoir Montmorency restaurant incorporates regional Quebec ingredients into its menu, representing the culinary traditions of the province.
Visitors can access multiple observation points through a network of stairs, paths, and a cable car system that operates throughout the year.
The park features a 300-meter double zipline system that crosses directly in front of the waterfall, offering an aerial perspective of the cascade.

Quebec provides varied photographic settings across a province that combines French colonial heritage with extensive natural landscapes. In Quebec City, the stone buildings of Old Quebec, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, and Montmorency Falls with its 83-meter drop form key subjects. The historic Quartier Petit Champlain, Frontenac Staircase, and Grande-Allée display the city's European-influenced architecture, while the Plains of Abraham and Observatoire de la Capitale offer vantage points. Montreal presents different photographic opportunities with Notre-Dame Basilica, Saint Joseph's Oratory on Mount Royal, and contemporary facilities like the Biosphère and Grande Roue. Lachine Canal and street art along Boulevard Saint-Laurent add to urban captures. The Gaspé Peninsula, Jacques-Cartier National Park, Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, and locations like Île d'Orléans and Mont-Tremblant show the province's natural terrain. The Saint Lawrence River connects many of these sites as the primary waterway, from its lower reaches near Rimouski to the riverbanks at Montreal and Quebec City.
