The Montane is a river in France that runs in the Corrèze department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region . The river is named differently during its course: if it is still called Ruisseau de la Gane salée on the upper reaches, it will later become the Montane and finally the Gimelle in its mouth section .
It rises in the municipality of Saint-Yrieix-le-Déjalat , in the Regional Nature Park Millevaches en Limousin , generally drains in a south-westerly direction and after 39 kilometers on the municipal boundary of Tulle and Laguenne reaches the Saint-Bonnette as a right tributary , which in turn is about 500 meters further flows into the Corrèze .
