Anse au Foulon

/ɑ̃s o fu.lɔ̃/

proper noun/ɑ̃s o fu.lɔ̃/

a small cove in Quebec, Canada, now part of Quebec City

The toponym originates from a fulling mill (French: foulon) that the Séminaire de Québec built in 1710, at the base of the cliff which met the cove. Despite the closure of the mill in 1734, the toponym persisted.
