The Elle (French pronunciation: [ɛl] ) is a 31.8 km long river in Normandy, a right bank affluent of the Vire.[1]

Tributaries

Vallée de l'Elle à Cerisy-la-Forêt

L'Elle has several affluents ~ among them:

  • one main affluent : the Rieu (12.2 km) which joins right bank at Lison. The Rieu collects the waters of the north-eastern part of the basin, located between those of the Aure (north) and the Vire (east) and a few of its tributaries to the south and the east.
  • le ruisseau de Branche (6.7 km) joins the Elle left bank at Saint-Jean-de-Savigny.
