editThe 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.
