Departure from Mer (Loir-et-Cher)
A small stream originates in a place called Bausdisson.
It flows through the town from north to south and joins the Loire after a journey of around twelve kilometres.
This small river, called the Tronne, gives the town of Mer a certain charm.
In fact, Mera means "marsh" or "place covered with water" in Latin, which is the origin of the name Mer.
