The exploration of Lévis and its naval, rail, and trade past is a unique chapter separate from Quebec’s history. Our guide will reveal lesser-known facets of Lévis’s history during both French and English colonial times. The societal shifts of the Canadian phase are also evident in Old Lévis.
These changes are traceable in the history of the Desjardins Group, which you can learn about in two distinct ways. From Tuesday to Thursday, we explore the POP-SAC-À-VIE exhibition inside the Desjardins Building tracing the steps of a movement. From Friday to Monday, we tour the Maison Alphonse-Desjardins, where the first Credit Union was established.
Our tour guides are fluent in both English and French, and we include a tasting experience with every tour. This tasting session happens at the 41-Bistro Sausagerie in Old Lévis.
