The Irance is a river in France that runs in the Ain department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region . It rises in the municipality of Saint-Germain-sur-Renon in the lake-rich natural landscape of Dombes , initially drains to the northwest, then draws a large loop to the east, but returns to its original direction of flow and flows 31 kilometers into the local area of Mézériat on the left Tributary to the Veyle . Since the Irance runs parallel to the Veyle at a short distance for about four kilometers in its mouth, there are already several watercourses above the mouth that connect the two rivers.
