The discovery of Lévis and its maritime, railway and commercial history is different from the history of Quebec. Our guide will help you discover little-known aspects of the history of Lévis during both the French colony and the English colony. The social changes of the Canadian period are also visible in Old Lévis.
These transformations can be observed in the history of Desjardins Group, which you can discover in two ways. From Tuesday to Thursday, we visit the exhibition POP-SAC-À-VIE… in the footsteps of a movement inside the Desjardins Building. From Friday to Monday, we visit Maison Alphonse-Desjardins, where the first Caisse Populaire was founded.
Our guides are bilingual and we offer a tasting included with the visit every day of the visit. This tasting takes place at Bistro le 41- Saucisserie in Old Lévis.

Notre visite a été très agréable et divertissante. Le guide connaissait vraiment bien son histoire et avait une facilité à y mettre un peu de piquant. Même avec des questions hors de la visite, le guide répondait facilement et il est évident qu'il connait très bien Lévis et son histoire.

Je n’étais jamais allée à Lévis et quelle découverte! Belle ville et bien présentée par le guide. La vue sur le Château Frontenac de Québec est tout simplement imprenable. On a également vu des bateaux de croisière. Le Vieux-Levis est pittoresque et agréable à marcher malgré quelques côtes, mais ceci en fait son charme. Le tout s’est terminé par une dégustation de produits locaux dans un endroit fort sympathique. Vous pouvez vous y rendre du Vieux-Québec en prenant le traversier.
