Saint-François (formerly Saint-François-de-Salle) is the second largest district of Laval, Quebec, Canada, after Duvernay. It was a separate city until the municipal mergers on August 6, 1965. Agriculture occupies most of the land area. == Geography == Located at the extreme east of Île Jésus (Laval), it is bounded on the: *North by the Rivière des Mille Îles; *South by the Rivière des Prairies; *West by the neighbourhood of Auteuil *South by the neighbourhood of Duvernay.〔(Interactive map of Laval from the official website ) Shows both the borders and names of the 14 former municipalities (purple) and the borders only of the current 6 sectors (maroon), tick off both boxes beside "Limite administrative".〕 A residential agglomeration formed in the southeast of the neighbourhood. The construction of the A25 Bridge (now the Autoroute 25) that now links with Montreal has been controversial. Ecologists opposed it because the bridge would destroy a wetland where rare species live. All opposition is now moot because the bridge was under construction as of early 2008 and was finished mid-2011. 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「Saint-François, Laval」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
