The Don (French pronunciation: [dɔ̃] ⓘ) is a river in Brittany, northwestern France. The 92.1 km (57.2 mi) long Don is a tributary of the river Vilaine.[1]
The river Don rises near Saint-Michel-et-Chanveaux in Maine-et-Loire. The river flows west, passing through the towns of Saint-Julien-de-Vouvantes and Petit-Auverné, where the Little Don joins it. The river flows through the towns of Isse, Treffieux and Jans, where the River Cone joins it. After passing under the RN 137, it continues toward Marsac-sur-Don, Guémené-Penfao and then Massérac, where it empties into the river Vilaine at the border of Loire-Atlantique and the Ille-et-Vilaine.
