Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox river The Bras des Angers (English: arm of Angers) is a tributary of the Pikauba River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The course of the Bras des Angers crosses the northwest part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
The small valley of the Arm of Angers is located near route 169. This valley is served by some secondary forest roads, especially for forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Bras des Angers is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.

The Angers branch rises at the confluence of two forest streams (altitude: Шаблон:Convert) in a forest area in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve. This source is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of route 169;
- Шаблон:Convert south-east of the confluence of the Morin river and the rivière aux Écorces;
- Шаблон:Convert north-west of the confluence of the Bras des Angers and the Pikauba River;
- Шаблон:Convert south of the confluence of the Pikauba river and Kenogami Lake;
- Шаблон:Convert south-east of lac Saint-Jean.[2]
From its source, the Angers branch flows over Шаблон:Convert with a drop of Шаблон:Convert entirely in the forest zone, according to the following segments:
- Шаблон:Convert south-east, up to a stream (coming from the south-west);
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south-east crossing a marsh area, up to a stream (coming from the south-west);
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south-east by crossing a marsh zone, then by forming a curve towards the south, until its mouth.[2]
The Angers arm spills out into the bottom of a small bay on the west bank of the Pikauba River. This confluence is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert north of the confluence of the Pika and Pikauba rivers;
- Шаблон:Convert south of the confluence of the Pikauba and Little Pikauba rivers;
- Шаблон:Convert east of the course of the Petite rivière Pikauba;

- Шаблон:Convert southwest of the confluence of the Chicoutimi River and the Saguenay River in the Chicoutimi sector of the city of Saguenay (city).[2]
From the mouth of the Angers arm, the current successively follows the course of the Pikauba River on Шаблон:Convert generally towards the north, crosses Kenogami Lake on Шаблон:Convert northeasterly to barrage de Portage-des-Roches, then follows the course of the Chicoutimi River on Шаблон:Convert eastward, then northeasterly and course of the Saguenay River on Шаблон:Convert eastward to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence estuary.[2] Шаблон:Convert
