Named for the apothecary considered among the earliest European settlers in New France, Louis-Hébert covers Quebec City's southern flank, encompassing the borough of Sainte-Foy—Sillery—Cap-Rouge and the municipality of Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. The riding stretches from the historic bluffs of Sillery along the St. Lawrence through the institutional core of Sainte-Foy — home to the sprawling campus of Université Laval — to the residential community of Cap-Rouge at its western limit.
Candidates
Joël Lightbound (Liberal) — A lawyer who studied at McGill University's Faculty of Law, Lightbound was first elected in 2015 and served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance.

Christian Hébert (Bloc Québécois) — A farmer and master cider maker, Hébert operated Domaine Hébert in the Capitale-Nationale region. He was named a Knight of the National Order of Agricultural Merit in 2017 and had also served in the Royal Canadian Navy.
Marie-Josée Guérette (Conservative) — Guérette held a political science degree from Université Laval. She had served as a deputy minister in the Quebec government and as a vice-president at La Capitale insurance group.

About the Riding
Louis-Hébert's character is shaped by the presence of Université Laval and several colleges, giving the riding a large student and academic population alongside established middle-class residential neighbourhoods. Place Laurier and Place de la Cité, two of Quebec City's largest shopping centres, anchor the commercial life of Sainte-Foy. The riding's demographics include a notable immigrant population, with communities from North Africa and Latin America. Cap-Rouge, at the riding's western edge, retains a quieter suburban atmosphere with older housing stock along the Cap-Rouge River valley. Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, a municipality at the riding's western boundary, has seen significant residential development. Health care, transit, and post-secondary funding were recurring campaign themes, given the concentration of educational institutions and the riding's aging population in established neighbourhoods like Sillery.
