L'Abbé River (Bulstrode River tributary)

The neighboring geographical slopes of the L'Abbé river are on the north or west side the Bulstrode River, on the east side the Gosselin River and on the south side the Nicolet River.

The Abbé River originates from various agricultural streams, in an agricultural area northwest of Norbertville and south of the Bulstrode River.

From its head, the river flows more parallel to the Lachance River, over 13.8 kilometres (8.6 mi). From the source, the river runs 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) southwest, to route 263. Then, it flows on 5.0 kilometres (3.1 mi) towards the southwest, up to two bodies of water developed by the city. It then goes 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi) south, up to route 116. Finally, it flows on 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) towards the southwest, crossing route 122, to its mouth.

The l'Abbé river flows on the east bank of the Bulstrode river, upstream of the Beaudet Reservoir, located in the northern part of the town of Victoriaville.

The toponym "rivière l'Abbé" was made official on August 7, 1978, at the Bank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[1]
