Tour de Lévis

Things to do at the Parc

Located in the heart of île Sainte-Hélène, the Tour de Lévis, built in the 1930s, is a highly recognized and historical landmark of the Montreal landscape.

An indoor 157-step staircase leads to the observation deck where guests have an astounding 360-degree view of the islands, the river, downtown Montreal and the surrounding areas.


Tour de Lévis work

From 2019 to 2023, the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau will be involved in carrying out the Conservation Plan designed to restore the Tour de Lévis tower and the surrounding forest. While this work is going on, the Tower and its immediate area will not be accessible.
