This confluence is located on the west side of Cache-Trois, either: north of the mouth of the Franquelin River; west of the village center of Godbout; north-east of downtown Baie-Comeau. From the mouth of the West Branch Franquelin River, the current descends on the course of the Franquelin River to the north shore of the estuary of Saint Lawrence.
