La Maine is a river (different from Le Maine (province)), a tributary of the Loire, 12 km (7 mi.) long, in the Maine-et-Loire département in France.
It is formed by the confluence of the Mayenne and Sarthe rivers north of Angers. It flows through this city and joins the Loire south-west of Angers.
Famous quotes containing the word maine:
“These were such houses as the lumberers of Maine spend the winter in, in the wilderness ... the camps and the hovels for the cattle, hardly distinguishable, except that the latter had no chimney.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
