The Vaige (French pronunciation: [vɛʒ]) is a 53.6 km (33.3 mi) long river in the Mayenne and Sarthe departments in western France.^[1]

This list is ordered from source to mouth:

• In Mayenne, the Vaige has its source in Saint-Léger then waters the following villages: Vaiges, Saint-Georges-le-Fléchard, La Bazouge-de-Chemeré, La Cropte, Saint-Denis-du-Maine, Préaux, Ballée, Beaumont-Pied-de-Bœuf,

• Only in Mayenne the Vaige waters Bouessay,
• Entering the Sarthe department, the Vaige avoid the Sablé-sur-Sarthe town and flows in the Sarthe (right tributary)

Low water and flood

Very often the river uses to dry at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, so fishes and river mussels die but kingfishers may fly away.^{[citation needed]}
