Montmorency Falls can be seen here in a wintery light, with a huge cone of ice known as the “sugar loaf” forming at its foot. In the foreground, an accident overturns a horse-drawn sleigh on the icy road! At the time, these sleighs, called “chars à chevaux” in French, were still the main means of transportation in winter. Today when referring to automobiles, the Québécois still say “chars”—a term inherited from the past!
