The Vienne has its source in the Pays de Caux in the territory of the commune of Beauval-en-Caux. Taking a northward journey, it flows through the communes of Saint-Mards, Lamberville, Bacqueville-en-Caux, Hermanville, Lammerville and Thil-Manneville before joining the Saâne at Gueures. Like most other rivers in the region, the Vienne is classified as a first class river, offering anglers the chance to catch trout and salmon.
