Lauzon, with Pointe-L\u00e9vy and its Seigneurie, goes back to the beginnings of New France. Guillaume Couture, humble carpenter turned diplomat and explorer, will be the first European to settle on the South Shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The area of Pointe-L\u00e9vy will live its worst hours during the siege of Quebec City (1759) and will suffer again following the Conquest with the American Revolutionary War. It is also in Old Lauzon that the legend of Corriveau, the first French-Canadian legend, will be born, since it was there that she was exposed and burried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nineteenth and twentieth centuries bring their share of opportunities and challenges. Lauzon\u2019s fate will then be tied to Davie Shipyard, a provider of jobs, pride and a lot of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although unknown, it is a fascinating and endearing historic district that you will discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guillaume Couture monument, St. Joseph church, street and school, St. Anne and St. Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier chapels, J\u00e9sus-Marie school and Davie Shipyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
