[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

As mentioned below, it was also "Rivière Froide" in maps from US Defense 
Mapping Agency.

Please, don't propagate a reading error any further...

(If you absolutely had to translate, it would be Cold River, but I don't 
think it would be appropriate to translate toponymy like this. Imagine 
changing all the "Morne" to "Mountain" ? Or "Rue" to "Street" ??).

Jean-Guilhem
