The Aron is a 103.8-kilometre (64.5 mi) long river in central France.[1] It is a right tributary of the Loire, which it meets in Decize. It flows through the département Nièvre.
Course
The source of the Aron is in the commune Crux-la-Ville, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) north-east of Nevers. It flows in a southerly direction, through the towns Châtillon-en-Bazois and Cercy-la-Tour, and empties into the Loire in the city of Decize. Much of its length, from Châtillon-en-Bazois to Decize, the river flows parallel to the Canal du Nivernais.
Among its tributaries is the Alène.
