The ferry from Quebec City to Levis?

[canadarocks]

Can anyone tell me where we would catch the round trip ferry that runs between Quebec City and Levis? Is the pier near where our ship (HAL's Eurodam) will be docked?

It's the next dock but one: dock 22, small dock for tourist boat, then the ferry. No more than a 5-minute walk.

Thanks so much! I think it will be a lovely way to spend some time in our evening there. :)

The view coming back to Quebec is great.

How long a walk is it from the dock into Levis? Is the town worth it or should we should plan on riding over and back?

 

Lastly, how is the name pronouced? I presume Levy?

It is a climb up a steep hill into Levis. We have not spent any time there. We stayed in a B&B right across the street from the ferry. I would just go over and back.

Thanks!

When we are in Quebec for our cruise in October we planned on heading over to Levis as well. From what I've heard and if you enjoy beer it would probably be worth your while to check out Le Corsaire, it's a brewpub on the Levis side that according to goole mpas is no more than a 5 minute walk from the dock.

 

Here is a link to their websitem if you use google chrome it should prompt you to translate to english:

Merci!

 

Bienvenue! ( a word that , like in English the word welcome, is used both as a reply to merci (thank you) and to say happy to have you here (the welcome as in welcome on board). Off topic, but just in case, since you will probably see some on a Canada NE cruise : in french a seal is called a "phoque" and that is pronounced exactly like the four letter F word.... In Alaska a few years ago, chatting with a french fellow passenger on the docks as we watched a seal play in the water ,it took us a while to figure out why we were getting these looks from other passengers, especially since my fellow passenger was a distinguished older lady. Maybe you can share that on your Cruise so less people go home thinking that french speaking people use bad language. ( we still laugh about it)

Thanks for the Bienvenue info....I would have been using my France French and been saying "de rien" all over Quebec!

De rien is also widely used.

Some people may also answer " plaisir"' as " my pleasure.

Good to know that I won't be looked at crazily when "rien" automatically comes out of my mouth!

 

Thanks again for the advice.
