Francheville (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃ʃvil] ⓘ) was a former regional county municipality in the Mauricie region of Quebec, Canada.
Prior to its dissolution, it had an area of 1,124 square kilometres (434 sq mi).
[3] The RCM was dissolved on December 31, 2001, when Saint-Étienne-des-Grès was transferred to the Maskinongé Regional County Municipality, the municipalities of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Pointe-du-Lac, Saint-Louis-de-France, Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap, Trois-Rivières and Trois-Rivières-Ouest were merged into the new City of Trois-Rivières, and the remaining municipalities became part of the new Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality.
[3] Although the division no longer functions as a regional county municipality in the political sense, the amalgamated city of Trois-Rivières and the regional county municipality of Les Chenaux are still grouped together as the census division of Francheville by Statistics Canada for census purposes.
The division had a population of 143,267 in the Canada 2006 Census.
