Английская Википедия:Françoise River
Шаблон:Infobox river The Françoise river is a tributary of the rivière aux Anglais flowing in the unorganized territory Rivière-aux-Outardes, in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.
The Françoise river valley is mainly served by the English river path.[1]
The surface of the Françoise river is generally frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, except the rapids areas; however, safe circulation on the ice is generally from mid-December to mid-March.
Geography
The Françoise river has its source on the Canadian Shield, at a small unidentified lake (length: Шаблон:Cvt; altitude: Шаблон:Cvt). The mouth (south side) of this small forest lake is located Шаблон:Cvt northeast of the confluence of the Françoise river and the rivière aux Anglais, at Шаблон:Cvt south-west of a bay in lake Franquelin and Шаблон:Cvt north-west of the confluence of the rivière aux Anglais and Baie des Anglais on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
From the head lake, the course of the Françoise river descends on Шаблон:Cvt entirely in the forest zone, with a drop of Шаблон:Cvt, according to the following segments:
- Шаблон:Cvt southwards crossing first two small lakes, then a third lake (length: Шаблон:Cvt; altitude: Шаблон:Cvt ) on Шаблон:Cvt, to its mouth;
- Шаблон:Cvt southerly in a straight line, crossing an unidentified lake (length: Шаблон:Cvt; altitude: Шаблон:Cvt) on its full length, to its mouth;
- Шаблон:Cvt to the south relatively in a straight line in a deep valley, crossing a small lake (length: Шаблон:Cvt; altitude: Шаблон:Cvt) in mid-segment, collecting on the west side the discharge from a lake, then collecting on the east side two discharges from lakes, up to a bend in the river, corresponding to the discharge (coming from the east) of three lakes;
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the east relatively in a straight line in a deep valley, until its mouth.[2]
The Françoise river flows on the northeast bank of the upper course of the rivière aux Anglais, in the unorganized territory of Rivière-aux-Outardes. This confluence is located downstream from Lake Pascal and downstream from the confluence of the Tremblay River. From the confluence of the Françoise river, the current descends the course of the English river for Шаблон:Cvt to the Baie des Anglais, located on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.[2]
