Lévis, Administrative division across St. Lawrence River from Quebec City, Canada

The merged municipality of Lévis extends along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, encompassing 448 square kilometers of residential and commercial areas.

The territory underwent significant changes in 2002 when ten municipalities consolidated to create the current administrative structure of Lévis, expanding its regional influence.

French language predominates in Lévis, with more than 95 percent of residents using it as their primary means of communication in daily activities.

The Lévis-Quebec City ferry system provides regular transportation across the St. Lawrence River, connecting travelers to both shores throughout the year.

Three military forts built between 1865 and 1872 stand as witnesses to a period when Canada needed protection from potential American military actions.
