It is located in the southeastern part of Abitibi-Ouest and forms, to a certain extent, the boundary of the inhabited portion of the sector. The town is built on the vast clay plain that surrounds Lac Abitibi.
The Poularies economy is based largely on farming and forestry.
The folks of Poularies are always pleased to welcome visitors!
