Levis, QC at a Glance
Situated on the south shore of the St.
Lawrence River opposite Quebec
City, the area around the City of Levis, Quebec,
was originally settled by Europeans in the early 17th century and was occupied
by First Nations peoples for thousands of years previous. Unsurprisingly, history
and culture abound in the city and lucky visitors have the opportunity to experience
both. Begin a trip by exploring the neighbourhood of Le
Vieux-Levis (Old Levis), which features historic homes like Maison
Alphonse-Desjardins and Maison
Natale de Louis Frechette, as well as Fort
Levis National Historic Site of Canada, constructed in the 19th century to
protect Canada from potential American invasions. Those who want a hand finding
all of the best spots in Old Levis can hop aboard a shuttle bus tour and let professional
guides lead the excursion. Admire works by local artists at one of the city's
four art galleries, which include the Galerie
d'art Vieux-Levis and the Galerie
Louise-Carrier, and see more historic sites cycling the Levis portion of La
Route Verte.
