Gave d'Oloron

The Gave d'Oloron is a river of south-western France near the border with Spain. It takes its name from the city Oloron-Sainte-Marie, where it is formed from the rivers Gave d'Aspe and Gave d'Ossau. It joins the Gave de Pau in Peyrehorade to form the Gaves réunis, a tributary of the Adour. The Gave d'Oloron is used for fishing. The river is 148 kilometres (92 mi) long, including its source rivers Gave d'Ossau and Gave du Brousset.[1]
