Rapide-Danseur

This tiny municipality in northwestern Quebec takes its name from a waterfall on the Duparquet River, between Lake Duparquet and Lake Abitibi, where Indigenous peoples traditionally stopped to dance and stretch after portaging — a name rendered in their language as "where we stop to dance, to stretch ourselves." Incorporated in 1981, Rapide-Danseur sits in the Abitibi-Ouest region, with water access central to its setting.
