The Souleuvre (French pronunciation: [sulœvʁ]) is a 19.0 km long right affluent of the Vire in Normandy, northwestern France.[2] It crops at Montchamp near the hamlets of Lamerie, la Druerie and la Saffrie, 9 km to the east of Le Bény-Bocage and arrives at Le Tourneur where, having been rejoined by several affluents, it runs along the bed of a steep westwards pictorial valley, formed from the cambrian syncline of la zone bocaine.Its basin lies between those of la Drôme (north), l'Orne (west) and l'Allière (south).The Souleuvre and the Vire along with the Rubec and the Blandouit form a digging axe in the bocain syncline shaping a pictural valley ending in les gorges de la Vire.Montchamp, Saint-Charles-de-Percy, Montchauvet, Le Bény-Bocage, Saint-Pierre-Tarentaine, Le Tourneur, Carville, La Ferrière-Harang, Campeaux The Souleuvre basin is a Natura 2000 marked site, namely for its white-clawed crayfish and sculpin population,[4] as well as European brook lamprey and Atlantic salmon.
