Antoine Feuillion was the son of Michel Feuillon, a captain of the Musketeers of the Guards during the reign of the “Sun King”, Louis XIV of France before his immigration to New France.This town is named Bois des Filion because of the beautiful maple woods bordering it; le bois being French for “the woods”. When the city was newly founded, one had to follow a path through these woods and ford a small river to enter the city.History[edit]This small town has a rich cultural history rooted in the legend of the lords, C\u00e9loron de Blainville and Lepage of Holy-Claire.
