The Lac Saint-Augustin is a lake in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale the Canadian province of Quebec . It is mostly in the area of ​​the city of Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and to a lesser extent in the provincial capital Québec (in the Arrondissement of Sainte-Foy-Sillery-Cap-Rouge ).
