Vieux-Comptoir or Old Factory was a small Cree community at the mouth of Vieux-Comptoir River off James Bay in Quebec, Canada. The community was established as a trading post in the 17th century, but abandoned when the Cree were relocated to Wemindji, Quebec, 45 kilometres (28 mi) to the north in 1959.[1]
