Experience Details

In 2025 we start a historical tour of the Old Levis followed by a discovery of the farmers market of Lévis. This discovery of fresh and processed products by farmers in Chaudière-Appalaches and Bellechasse is a new visit.


These visits take place on Sunday mornings from July 6 to September 21. We offer a discount for the first two Sundays if you book in advance.


Here is a different way to experience your summer weekends. We organize the same type of discovery with tasting on summer Saturdays at the Cap-Rouge market in Quebec City.


Our mission as a non-profit organization is to encourage the local economy by introducing places outside the city circuit. We are part of the social economy because we believe that visits outside of touristic places allow us to discover new places while encouraging local shops.

Looking forward to making you discover our city!
