Visited when it was still being renovated, so not much to see. If you'd like to learn about how forts were built, the underlying hate between the French and English that helped formed Canada, this is a place to visit. For 30-mins. ????

Alain Bilodeau

Great site to visit to understand the impact of the industrial revolution on military action and how their armaments got outdated pretty quickly. I love that the tour can be self guided or with an interpreter and that there is a logical order to the exhibit, unlike other historical places I've been to.

MS Montagnard

(Translated) Detailed caponiere and powder magazine visit. Very well explained. Provide baby carrier for children too young to walk, otherwise access to the top of the fort is difficult by stroller. (Original) Visite de caponières et poudrière détaillées. Très bien expliquées. Prévoir porte bébé pour enfants trop jeunes pour marcher, sans quoi l'accès au sommet du fort est difficile en poussette.

Nice place to spend an hour (the guided tour was particularly useful). This is one of three forts (the only one still standing) in Lévis, which were built to protect Quebec from a possible US invasion during the civil war (not that the US would ever invade another country, of course).

Tim Taino

Wonderfully reconstructed example of British fortifications built to withstand invasion from the south.

(Translated) The Forts-de-Lévis National Historic Site is a well-developed military site. Unfortunately, opening hours are rather limited during the pandemic. Despite signs indicating that dogs should always be kept on a leash for those who walk around the fort, there are unfortunately many citizens who do not. (Original) Le lieu historique national des Forts-de-Lévis est un site militaire bien aménagé. Malheureusement, les heures d'ouverture sont plutôt limitées pendant la pandémie. Malgré des panneaux indiquant que les chiens doivent toujours être tenus en laisse pour ceux et celles qui se promènent autour du fort, il y a malheureusement bien des citoyens qui ne le font pas.

Karene Kaki

(Translated) Note dog lovers that contrary to the indications given on the website, dogs, even on a leash and well equipped with poop bags, are NOT allowed on the fort site. We, dog owners, are limited to a vulgar half-moon of at most a hundred meters along the foundations of the wall since any nice doggie will be excluded before even having put a paw on the other side of the doors. I would have understood if dogs would have been prohibited in the tunnels or the buildings which the site contains but why prohibit them the access to the paths when it is registered dog on a leash on the Internet site. I'm sorry, but I have a parking lot and a piece of wall, I don't call it a visit to the fort. Thank you good evening. (Original) À noter amoureux des chiens que contrairement aux indications données sur le site internet, les chiens, même en laisse et bien équipés de sacs à caca, NE SONT PAS admits sur le site du fort. Nous, propriétaires de chiens, sommes limités à un vulgaire demi-lune de tout au plus une centaines de mètres longeant les fondations du mur puisque tout gentil toutou sera exclu avant même d'avoir mis une patte de l'autre côté des portes. J'aurais comprit si les chiens auraient été interdit dans les tunnels ou les bâtiments que comporte le site mais pourquoi leur interdire l'accès aux sentiers alors qu'il est inscrit chien en laisse sur le site internet. Je m'exuse, mais moi un stationnement et un bout de mur, j'apelle pas ça une visite du fort.. Merci bonsoir.

Very nice restoration of the site (still in progress in 2018). The guide is not obligatory, but the little extra to pay is well worth it. Good visit!

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. We did a self guided tour (leave ID at the desk to borrow a book). The kids participated in the Xplorers challenge and it was great! Some parts were under construction but there was still enough to do. Parking was difficult with a trailer, we parked on the street.
