Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ lyk də vɛ̃sɛn]) is a municipality in the Mauricie region of the province of Quebec in Canada. It is the seat of Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality.[4]

History

Detached from Saint-Narcisse and Champlain in 1865, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Luc changed its name and status to that of Municipality of Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes in 1991.[4]

During the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023), the community of Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes was active around several spontaneous projects: the construction of a bread oven, the inoculation of mushrooms on logs, the planting of fruit shrubs, the cultivation of a community garden, the installation of beehives.[5]

Geography

Administration Buildings, Main Street (Route 359)

The composition of the soil of Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes includes clay at depth, it favours landslides: those of 1823, 1878, 1895, 1981 and 1986 2016 are among the most remarkable.[6][7]

On 9 November 2016, a landslide in sensitive glaciomarine sediments occurred on a terrace of the Champlain River near the municipality of Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes, Quebec. The particularity of this event is that there are evidences that the movement started as a flowslide and then finished as a spread. The landslide morphology comprises horsts and grabens typical of spreads and also a large quantity of remolded material that flowed out of a pear-shaped crater with a narrow bottleneck, typical of flowslides. The geotechnical investigation of this landslide was performed by the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) in collaboration with Université Laval, and consisted of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveys, drone photography, several boreholes, piezocone tests with pore pressure measurements (CPTUs), field vane tests, and piezometric monitoring.[7]
