It rises on the municipal boundary of Combrand and La Petite-Boiserie , generally drains north-west to west and, after 34 kilometers, flows into the Sèvre Nantaise as a right tributary at the municipal boundary of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre and Mortagne-sur-Sèvre . On its way it crosses the Deux-Sèvres and Vendée departments and in the lower reaches also forms the border with the Maine-et-Loire department for about five kilometers .
