Construction of Fort Carillon, Lake Champlain

In October 1755, Michel Chartier, seigneur of Lotbinière, supported by the infantry captain of the Queen’s regiment, Joseph de Germain, began construction of the fort, which was initially called Fort Vaudreuil. The construction of this fort with wooden bastions lasted until 1757.
