Coteau-du-Lac (French pronunciation: [kɔto dy lak]) is a small city in southwestern Quebec, Canada. It is on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality.
The name of the town comes from the French word coteau which means "slope" and from its location on the north shore of Lake Saint Francis.[5] The National Historic Site of Canada of the Coteau-du-Lac canal is the location of the first canal lock system in North America. The city has an industrial park.
The population was 7,044 as of the 2016 Canadian Census.[4]
