Petite Creuse

River in France

The Petite Creuse (French pronunciation: [pətit kʁøz], Little Creuse) is a 95.2 km (59.2 mi) long river in Allier and Creuse departments, in central France.[1] Its source is at Treignat, 2.5 km (1.6 mi) southeast of the village. It is a left tributary of the Creuse into which it flows at Fresselines. The river is dammed at several locations creating valley lakes that are extensively used for recreation, such as fishing, boating and swimming. The dams are used to generate electricity and to supply water treatment plants providing drinking water to local communities.
