Lévis

Lévis is a city in eastern Quebec, Canada, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River opposite Quebec City. A ferry links Old Quebec with Old Lévis, and two bridges, the Quebec Bridge and the Pierre-Laporte Bridge, connect western Lévis with Quebec City. Its current form dates from 1 January 2002, when ten cities merged, among them the older city of Lévis founded in 1861; the seignory of Lauzon had been founded on part of this territory in 1636. Lévis is also the name of a territory equivalent to a regional county municipality and census division coextensive with the city. The 2021 census counted 149,683 residents, up 4.4 percent from 2016.
