The Queugne is a river in France that runs in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Center-Val de Loire regions. It rises in the municipal area of Chambérat , generally drains north-east through a sparsely populated area and flows into the Cher after around 28 kilometers at the hamlet of La Queugne , in the municipal area of Épineuil-le-Fleuriel , as a left tributary . On its way, the Queugne crosses the Allier and Cher departments .
Just before the mouth, it crosses the Canal de Berry, which runs parallel to the Cher, with the help of a canal bridge , but was also used to supply the canal with water at the former lock . Today the canal is no longer in operation and has even been drained south of the canal bridge.
