The Arconce (French pronunciation: [aʁkɔ̃s]) is a 98.8 km (61.4 mi) long river in the Saône-et-Loire department in central France.[1] Its source is in Mary, 2 km (1.2 mi) southwest of the village. It is a right tributary of the Loire, into which it flows at Varenne-Saint-Germain, 2.5 km (1.6 mi) northwest of the village.
It flows generally southwest, but north from Anzy-le-Duc to its mouth, with numerous meanders.
