The Bronze is a river in the Ardennes region of Belgium, a tributary of the Ourthe and therefore part of the Meuse watershed. It flows entirely within the province of Luxembourg.
The Bronze is formed by half a dozen small streams located northeast of the Barrière de Champlon in the commune of Tenneville. The river does not flow into any inhabited areas except for the hamlet of Hamerine near the village of Journal. It then joins the Ourthe at an altitude of 220 meters, right in the center of La Roche-en-Ardenne. A few dozen meters before its confluence, the stream flows under the Place du Bronze.
Its course, approximately 12 kilometers long, runs mainly through wooded areas. The slopes are very steep. Nearby, on the higher ground, are the villages of Journal, Mierchamps, Vecmont, Ronchampay, and Beausaint.
