Excerpt from The Vaux De Vire of Maistre Jean Le Houx, Advocate of Vire

Of the Chateau of Vire, which lies to the well, and fuffi ciently near to the town to be confidered as one of the faubourgs. It is in thofe valleys, extending, the one from north to fouth, and the other from eaft to well, that the two rivers Vire and Virene flow, till their junétion at the Pont des Vaux. Their banks are fometimes hemmed in between two precipitous lines of cliff, which afford no other view than naked rock and heath. Sometimes they Open out, difclofing partial woods, and portions of culti vated ground. Everywhere the views are very limited, the horizon being on all fides confined to a fpace of a quarter of a league, excepting the part which extends to the north below the Pont des Vaux in which direction an unbounded diftance is opened up. The current of the Vire and of the Virene is there pretty rapid, or, rather.
