Thank you, B >> Found this on the internet and translated it on my computer: NICOLET Geographical situation Situated in the heart of Quebec, the agglomeration nicolétaine shelters a population of 8 000 residents and covers an area of 94,5 km2. Nicolet constitutes a pole of first order on the south bank of the river because it has a market of approximately 180 000 persons in a radius of 50 km. It is equally possible to rejoin near 75 % of the population of Quebec in 90 minutes. The presence of the greatest industrial park of Quebec, situated to Bécancour, renders again more interesting the economic and geographical situation of Nicolet when one speaks proximity of the market. Distance of the main poles Bécancour 25 km 20 min. ( Industrial park) Drummondville 55 km 35 min. Three - Rivers 20 km 15 min. Quebec 150 km 90 min. Montreal 155 km 90 min.
