The Orbiquet is a river in France that runs in the Calvados department in the Normandy region . It rises in the municipality of La Folletière-Abenon , where the top 800 meters are sometimes underground and the water only then comes to light in a karst spring . The Orbiquet generally drains in a north-westerly direction through the natural landscape of the Pays d'Auge and flows into the Touques after 30 kilometers in the urban area of Lisieux as a right tributary . A second branch of the estuary already reaches the Touques about 300 meters further upstream.
