French lesson

Just finished a little bit of research and found;  Sault is a French word for river falls and the French pronunciation is "so" but has been modified through time in this area to be pronounced "soo".  That means the name of this area/town is actually Saint Marie's Falls.  Those falls are on the Saint Mary's River that drains Lake Superior, starting at the end of Whitefish Bay and flowing 74.5 miles (119.9 km) southeast into Lake Huron, with a fall of 23 feet (7.0 m).  For its entire length it is an international border, separating Michigan in the United States from Ontario, Canada.
