The Pierre-Paul River flows into the Mékinac Regional County Municipality, in the administrative area of the Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, Canada, through these three municipalities of the Batiscanie: Saint-Tite, Sainte-Thècle and Saint-Adelphe. == Course == This river flowing over rooted at the mouth of Pierre-Paul Lake, located in Rang Saint-Pierre, in the eastern part of the territory of Saint-Tite. Because sometimes mountainous terrain, the main course of the river described a big "Z" through a predominantly agricultural land (a forest in the early part of the course, due to the reforestation of former agricultural land in the area north of Pierre-Paul Lake). From its source, the river flows through the "road Pierre-Paul" and headed straight north across four lots in row St-Thomas (South) situated in the territory of Saint-Tite, then continuous in Sainte-Thècle, draining 10 lots in row St-Thomas (South), where it crosses the first time the road Charest.〔In the past, this road was known as a natural extension of the St-Thomas (South) road. This route allowed residents of rang St-Thomas and rang St-Émile (North) to go faster to Saint-Tite via the "road of Pierre-Paul lake". The name "Charest road" was recognized in 1968, in reference to Mr. Florent Charest whose family lived in a house at the intersection of the Rompré road (road 352) and St-Thomas Road (South). Following the construction of a curve on road 352, few houses of Charest road became away from the main road〕 At around from its source, the river is a small prank on two lots in row St-George (South) in Sainte-Thècle. Pierre-Paul river receives water from most largest tributaries of the row St-George (South), including Gagnon creek that empties into the river Pierre-Paul on the lot 351-116 of rang St-Thomas (at the limit of rang St-Georges). The second segment of its course is almost in a straight line and flows on . Pierre-Paul river bifurcates in rang St-George (South) to almost 160 degrees to the right to head straight south. In this segment of its course, the river flow back into row St-Thomas (South) where it crosses again the road Charest 〔"Répertoire des baptêmes de Sainte-Thècle 1869-2012" (Directory baptisms of Sainte-Thècle - 1869-2012, by Gaétan Veillette, article "Wilfrid Rompré and Phélina Charest", p. 60, indicating the origin of the name of the Charest road.〕 and crossing in diagonal six lots. Its path then crosses the limit of Saint-Adelphe and cut nine lots of row St-Emile. The river is then only from its source. The river continues to flow on six lots in row St-Pierre, before making a small prank on three lots in the 4th row Northeast Rivière des Envies (in Saint-Tite). With its tributaries streams, Pierre-Paul River receives the waters of 4th row Northeast Rivière des Envies and a small area of northern territory of Saint Séverin. The third segment of the route is along . Pierre-Paul river then branches off into Saint-Tite on 120 degrees to the left to go straight north through four lots in the row St-Pierre Saint-Adelphe. It course cut eight lots in row St-Alphonse and some lots of the Southwest of the Batiscan River. In the end of course, the river makes a few curves before throwing in the Batiscan River (on the southwest side), up to the village of Saint-Adelphe.〔Historical Research made by the historian Gaetan Veillette (Saint-Hubert) with reference to maps issued by the Department of Mapping Ministry of Energy and Resources〕 In 1925, the municipality built a new covered bridge on Pierre-Paul River, almost at its mouth, that is the current road 352. 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「Pierre-Paul River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
