Between 1865 and 1872, the British built three forts on the south shore to protect ²Ï³Üé²ú±ð³¦ against an American invasion that never materialized. One, known as Fort No 1, has been restored and operates as a national historic site with guided tours four times a day (11 am, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm). It's located amid suburban subdivisions, on the east side of Lévis, just off Rte 132 (Blvd Guillaume-Couture).
