Rivière-du-Loup

Rivière-du-Loup (French pronunciation: [ʁivjɛʁ dy lu]; 2021 population 20,118) is a small city on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec.

The city is the seat for the Rivière-du-Loup Regional County Municipality and the judicial district of Kamouraska.

The community was incorporated as the village of Fraserville, in honour of early Scottish settler Alexander Fraser, in 1850, and became a city in 1910.

The bomb was released due to engine troubles, and then was destroyed in a non-nuclear detonation before it hit the ground.

[8] Rivière-du-Loup is a traditional stopping point between Quebec City, the Maritimes and the Gaspé Peninsula.

There is a ferry that crosses the river (fleuve St Laurent) to Saint-Siméon on the north shore.

Until August 2021, the city was served by Canada's only triple-stick operation, in which all three of its licensed stations are owned by the same company, Télé Inter-Rives.

Rue LaFontaine is an important commercial street in Rivière-du-Loup.
