Chambly is a Montreal suburb in the Montérégie region, inland from the South Shore of the Saint Lawrence River. The best place to run in Chambly is around the historic Fort de Chambly, built in 1665, and then the path along the Chambly Canal, which empties into the Richelieu River. Pro tip: fun cafes and a brewery in the area for a post-run treat!
