The Yèvre (French pronunciation: [jɛvʁ]) is a river in central France, a right tributary of the Cher. It is 80.6 km (50.1 mi) long.[1] Its source is near the village of Gron, east of Bourges.
The Yèvre flows generally west through the following towns, all in the department of Cher: Baugy, Avord, Saint-Germain-du-Puy, Bourges, Mehun-sur-Yèvre, and Vierzon. The Yèvre flows into the Cher at Vierzon.
Its main tributaries are the Auron, the Airain, the Barangeon and the Colin.[1] The Auron flows into the Yèvre in Bourges, the Airain in Savigny-en-Septaine. For part of its length, the Yèvre runs parallel to the disused Canal de Berry.
