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).
