{French text}
Ce chemin, l’un des premiers au Canada, était une route militaire reliant à Montréal les forts le long de la rivière Richelieu. En 1665, les soldats du régiment de Carignan construisirent une route rudimentaire entre les villes actuelles de Chambly et de Longueuil, et le colonel de Salières s’en servit pour renforcer l’expédition du gouverneur de Courcelle contre les Iroquois l’hiver suivant. Au début du XVIIIᵉ siècle, le chemin fut aménagé pour l’usage des colons.

One of the earliest roads in Canada, the chemin de Chambly began as a military route connecting the forts along the Richelieu River with Montreal. A rudimentary trail was established between what are now Chambly and Longueuil by soldiers of the Carignan Regiment in 1665. Colonel de Salières used it to reinforce Governor de Courcelle’s expedition against the Iroquois the following winter. Early in the 18th century the route was developed as a wagon road for the use of settlers.
