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.
