Bois-des-Filion is an off-island suburb of Montreal, located in Quebec, Canada, to the north of Montreal. Historically, hundreds of families annually traveled to this region seasonally to experience the magnificent maple forests; however the tourist industry is currently a minor source of income for the city. The primary language spoken by its citizens is French, and the primary source of employment is general manufacturing. == Origin of the name == The name ''Filion'' is derived from the surname of Antoine Feuillon, a local carpenter who could neither read nor write, and thus was unable to correct any errors in the spelling of his name as the first records were kept. Antoine Feuillion was the son of Michel Feuillon, a captain of the musketeers during the reign of the "Sun King", Louis XIV before his immigration to the colony of Quebec. This town is named ''Bois'' des Filion because of the beautiful maple woods bordering it — ''le bois'' being French for "the woods". When the city was newly founded, one had to follow a path through these woods and ford a small river to enter the city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bois-des-Filion, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
