We live in an ancestral Quebec house built in 1841. It is located in the historic district of Old Lévis, across from Quebec City. It is a house for which we have devoted a lot of work ourselves for several years in order to restore it while preserving its charm of yesteryear! Our house is cozy, warm and bright. We have a large terrace where you can enjoy your meals while admiring the magnificent century-old trees that populate our neighborhood. Our house offers all the necessary amenities and room to accommodate the whole family (up to 10 people).
The Space
The house is warm, bright and perfectly located in the heart of Old Lévis. It is an 8-minute walk from the ferry that will take you to Old Quebec by crossing the beautiful St. Lawrence River. Our house has a long history of 184 years!
Guest Access
2nd floor, front and rear exterior stairs, terrace
Notes
Daniel (computer programmer), Virginie (literature teacher), beautiful children and 1 adorable cat live in the house. It's a house full of books, music and life!

Neighbourhood
We live in Old Lévis, the most beautiful neighborhood on the South Shore of Quebec City! Our house is located only a few minutes walk from the ferry where you will find the famous and popular Quai Paquet and its dozens of illuminated water jets. The children love it! It is the ideal place to walk and contemplate the majestic St. Lawrence River. At the same place, you can take the ferry that will transport you to the other side in the historic district of Old Quebec. We could also mention that nearby there is also the bike path along the river, restaurants, a chocolate factory, a delicatessen, cafes and many other things. Our neighborhood is friendly, peaceful and nice to stay in.

We just LOVED staying at Virginie and Daniel’s home in Lévis, Quebec. It is across the river from Old Quebec and the commuter ferry makes getting back and forth a breeze. It was nice to get away from the city but to still be so close. We loved all the space in their wonderful character home. Old Lévis is a really neat place in itself with so many amazing old homes in the neighbourhood. Virginie and Daniel were wonderful hosts and left us with everything we could possibly need. We were very sad to leave. Hopefully, we will make it back here one day! Thank you ❤️

Our exchange partners, Jennifer & Shane & their 4 children, have been amazing! Correspondence with Jen prior to their stay here was cordial, prompt, and fluid. On our return to Lévis, we found our house very clean and tidy, as we had left it. They took care of our home as if it were their own! We had complete confidence in their good care, even though we had never met them in person. We were thrilled to trade with them for a GLOBE, and we hope to one day have the opportunity to meet them "for real" in Vancouver, if luck allows us on a future trip to British Columbia!
