The Vis is a 57.8-kilometre-long (35.9 mi) river in south-central France, in the Occitanie administrative region.[1] It is a right tributary of the Hérault. Its source is in the Cévennes, near the village of Alzon. It flows between the Causse du Larzac and the Causse de Blandas into the Hérault and Gard departments.
