Rivière-du-Loup is a city on the eastern bank of the Saint Lawrence River in the Canadian province Quebec. To Rimouski it is the second largest city in the region Bas-Saint-Laurent.
Rivière-du-Loup is interesting for tourists, among other things, because there is a ferry to the west bank of the river to Saint-Siméon, takes off, but also for eco-tourists who want to visit the Île aux Lièvres.
