Fontainebleau, Administrative sector in Weedon, Canada.
Fontainebleau is an administrative sector in Weedon situated between the Salmon River and the Rat River. The area is characterized by agricultural land and properties that spread along rural roads.
The area was originally known as Saint-Raymond-de-Penneford-de-Weedon before merging with Weedon and Saint-Gerard. Despite this administrative change, it retained its postal designation as Fontainebleau, preserving part of its former identity.
The area features a small shrine with a statue of the Virgin Mary near where an old sawmill once stood, serving as a gathering point for local residents. This religious landmark reflects the spiritual connection of the community.
The main road, called Rang 2 or Chemin de la Mine, connects former copper mining sites to current agricultural properties. Visitors should expect a rural setting where a car is needed to explore the area.
