Swiss Normandy
Swiss Normandy is a part of Normandy that bestrides Calvados and Orne. Its name comes from its rugged and verdant relief resembling the Swiss Alps, with gorges carved by the Orne River and its tributaries, and by erosion in the Armorican Massif between Putanges-Pont-Écrepin and Thury-Harcourt. The river has created a rugged landscape. In the hills, small steep fields are often bordered by thick hedges or granite dry stone walls and have dense vegetation.

Rouvre
The Rouvre is a river in Lower Normandy, in the Orne département, a tributary of the Orne. The river's source is in the commune of Beauvain, a few kilometres to the east of La Ferté-Macé. After crossing the Pays d'Houlme, it turns in a north-westerly direction to re-enter the Swiss Normandy, and then in its last 15 kilometres passes around Bréel. The Rouvre then flows into the Orne between the dam at Saint-Philbert-sur-Orne and Pont-d'Ouilly, and joins the Orne at Rouvrou (elevation 63 metres).
