Haims () is a commune in the Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.
==Geography and hydrography == The town is crossed by the River Chambron and the River Salleron. The Salleron forms part of the commune's eastern border. Despite this there was a lack of water. Haims has calcareous soil that does not hold water and is crossed by no other watercourse than the Salleron. Every house has wells and drinking pits. The pit's bottom is covered with white clay to retain rainwater. This water was used for everyday consumption and even for making baby bottles. Getting water to Haims was a job undertaken by Bechet, Georgets, Tutaudière and Puy Franc.
