geography

The Belle Fille River is basically the upper reaches of the Castle Bruce River before the Raymondstone Rivers joins it at Raymondstone in the Castle Bruce Valley .

The sources of the Belle Fille River are located on the northern slope of the Morne Trois Pitons near L'Arouma Popotte or Crète Palmiste . A south-eastern spring stream forms the Emerald Pool ( ⊙ ) with a small waterfall. The source streams join shortly afterwards and the river runs in a winding course to the northeast. At Fond Melle , the Fond Figues River flows from the left and north , and soon afterwards the L'Or River from the right and south. In Scotland leads from the right and south of Vio River (Rivière Vigneau), who himself brings multiple source streams. About 2 km further at Svane David flows from the left and north of the Bajo Gutter , as well as several unnamed streams from the right and south. There the river also enters the lowlands, where soon after the Raymondstone River flows.

Due to its sources, it reaches close to the catchment area of ​​the Layou River in the west, to the north the catchment area of ​​the Pagua River joins and to the south the catchment area of ​​the Rosalie River , as well as the much smaller catchment area of ​​the Saint Sauveur River , which is in the crater of Saint Sauveur is completely cut off from the other river systems.
