3 Meilleurs Repères à Lévis, QC

Few people know of the threat to Canada in the early 1860s by the United States. This fort and two others were built to defend the south shore of the St Lawrence against such an incursion and were thankfully never required for such an event. A very quiet site and a very good example of engineering in the mid 19th Century. Attentive bilingual staff were on hand to answer any odd question. I was impressed by how well the powder magazine was displayed.

Great place to visit with children! We spent a little over an hour. The museum section has a lot of historical information and is very interactive. They have clean restrooms and a fountain to refill your water bottle. Staff is supper attentive and make you feel welcomed!

History before your very eyes and what is interesting is the guns point south to a time when our star spangled friends were no so friendly.

The museum is a little smaller then I expected, as half of it is just information about the owner, and there is nothing upstairs. However, the museum is completely free, regardless of which kind of tour you choose. You can either go with a guide. Get a complimentary audio tour. Or, print the history of the place from the internet and walk around on your own. Aside from the fort, this is really the only other thing on this side of the river that's worth seeing, and since it's free and a short walking distance from the ferry, there is no excuse for you skip this place. Especially if the weather is bad, it's a good place to get out of the cold. The only historic home in the area that's open regularly, outside of the tourist season.

We visited on a rainy day and arrived at the lunch break. We were given some great suggestions for lunch nearby so we went for a plat de jour before our free tour. Our guide, Denise was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining and the restored home of Alphonse Desjardins, the founder of the first credit union in Quebec and Canada was very interesting. You should visit if you are in Lévis.

Our guide Abelle,, was very knowledgeable and could speak both French and English. The house/museum is lovely and free for all.

Nous y étions pour le départ des grands voiliers. Ce fut un matin frais avec un beau lever de soleil, plein de gens autour de nous à attendre tout comme nous le départ de ces cathédrales de la mer. Bien bel endroit que ce quai Pâquet fraîchement réaménagé à Lévis. Méchant beau dimanche avant midi avec un bon gros dèj. au cochon dingue pour finir tout ça.

This important shipyard, whose history extends from 1829 to 1989, is closely linked to the development of the city of Lévis. Initially specializing in ship repair, he diversified his activities to include salvage operations and shipbuilding.

Tres belle place pour aller marcher sur le bord du fleuve .avec la vue sur la ville de quebec et sur les bateaux qui y accoste en plus juste woow .accessible a tous.
