geography

The Manicou River rises in the western summit area of ​​the Morne aux Diables ( ). Another source river rises a little further north. The source streams flow westwards on a steep slope and unite after about a kilometer. From there the river flows steadily in a westerly direction, passes Everton Hall Estate in the south and flows into Douglas Bay at Savanne Paile (Tanetane). The catchment area of ​​the small Toucari River and the larger Lamothe River connects to the north and the Salt River to the south . The connecting road from Tanetane to Penville in the east of the island partly follows the river valley as it climbs over the slopes of the Morne aux Diables.
