The Blâme (French: le Blâme), is a short river in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine in France. This 6.1 km (3.8 mi) long river is a left tributary of the Auvézère. It flows entirely within the department of Dordogne.[1]

Geography

The Blâme is a left tributary of the Auvézère river.[1] It empties into the Auvézère slightly east of the commune of La Boissière-d'Ans with a small waterfall near La Forge d'Ans.[2] Its source is the spring Puits de Bontemps, 1.5 km south of Brouchaud.

The Blâme has one tributary, the small river Soue (also called Lassoue).[1] The two rivers join at the village of Brouchaud.
