Saint-François-du-Lac, Quebec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint-François-du-Lac, Quebec is a community in Nicolet-Yamaska Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada, located at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Saint-François rivers, at the edge of Lac Saint-Pierre (Hence its name, "Saint-François of the lake").
This is the same community, Francois-de-Sales, that repulsed the attack by Rogers Rangers during the French and Indian War in 1759.
Saint-François-du-Lac faces the town of Pierreville from across the Saint-François river, and lies at the junction of Route 132 and Route 143.
