Montcalm's illustrious past is considerably entwined with Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Grozon, commended for his commitment to protective France's colonies in North America during the Seven Years' War. His military acumen was palpable in early engagements, but his strategies became a point of contention when prolonged war started to result in setbacks for France. His decision to engage the British at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham rather than wait for reinforcements proved to be his undoing, as he was fatally wounded in this decisive skirmish.

His memory lives on in locations across France, Quebec and parts of New York and Lower Michigan. A visit to Montcalm is an immersion in this shared history. Montcalm proves to be fascinating not just for its clash of cultures, its dilemmas and its human frailties, but also for its indelible imprint on the annals of time.

When to visit Montcalm

When it comes to weather, Montcalm shines in the months of May, September, and October, with temperatures hovering between a pleasant 20 to 26 degrees Celsius. These months provide a gentle warmth that perfectly complements long walks exploring the scenic beauty of the Ardèche or a relaxing family picnic in the French Alps. While July sees temperatures rise, it's an excellent opportunity to experience the vibrant city life of Paris, with its colourful street art, bustling vintage shops and tantalising vegetarian cafes.

However, October being the wettest month also lends the town a fresh, verdant look, making any time a good time to visit. For a serene and immersive French experience, mark Montcalm in your travel calendar.
