Bois-Franc (French pronunciation: [bwa fʁɑ̃]) is a municipality in the La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau Regional County Municipality, Quebec, Canada, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Maniwaki. Its territory is along the western shores of the upper Gatineau River.

The adjective franc has its origin in the western regions of France and means "excellent, good, strong, solid, hard." Therefore, the name Bois-Franc can be translated as "hardwood" and is a reference to magnificent stands of hardwoods found within the municipality, including beech, ash, maple and birch.[4]

History

Its first European settlers came in 1870.[5] Its post office, named Bois-Franc, opened in 1886. In 1920, the Municipality of Bois-Franc was founded when it separated from the Egan Municipality Township.[4]
