The source of the Bièvre is in Guyancourt, département Yvelines.
From there, it flows through the following départements and towns:
Yvelines: Jouy-en-Josas
Essonne: Bièvres, Massy
Hauts-de-Seine: Antony
Val de Marne: Fresnes, L'Haÿ-les-Roses, Gentilly
The river enters Paris near Stade Charléty (close to the border between the 13th and 14th arrondissements), and reaches the Seine River in the Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement) close to Île de la Cité.

The Bièvre was diverted from its original course in 1148 by the monks of the abbey of Saint-Victor.
This diversion is reflected in maps of Paris dating from the 13th century.
Historically the river was heavily industrialized with mills, which led to the straightening of the river.
Tanneries, butcher shops and dye-makers were built along its banks, leading to serious pollution concerns.

Starting in the 18th century, the river was gradually culverted.
Eleven km are canalised under slabs and 5 km have disappeared under rubble and urbanisation in Paris.
In modern times the Bièvre forms a rainwater system.
